    I was reading under "what we're reading" and have just ordered Dry and Drinking: A Love Story from Amazon.com. I am in the middle of reading a book I stumbled upon at Wal-Mart called Smashed. Anyone ever heard of it?
    It's a very hard book for me to read because it is so depressing. But it's like I can't put it down. It is incredibly well written by a 23 year old woman and it's her account of her drinking problem that began at age 14. It scares me for my own children and issues they'll face, especially since they have a mother that they see drink. It's a bit of a wake up call....
    and it's not pleasant...
    but it's needed.
    Let me know if you have read it or do read it.

    Have not heard of it and after that glowingly depressing review I am not sure I want to read it! .

    Let me know what you think of Dry. I think you will LOVE it.

            Now that I have reread your thought-provoking review I realize I know which book this is. I saw her on the talk show circuit when she was trying to sell it. It sounded depressing then and it still sounds depressing, and despite your brilliant review I still do not think I want to read it.

                      I just finished dry as wel............read it in one sitting and could not put it down! It was definitely confronting. Has any one read Allen carr's book? Is worth getting?

                        I read Dry and a Million Little Pieces and loved them both. This book Smashed sounds intriguing. I think I kind of like the depressing ones. Example - I read the book Running With Scissors - I actually liked it despite it being extremely disturbing...Sigh, what does that tell you?

                          I loved Running with Scissors too. I also read all of his other one's. Guess I just like him...he's kind of warped.

                              Kind of the same but different stories. Talk about his relationships and get more in depth about his life. Possible Side Effects and Magical Thinking, I still have Sellevision to read.
