Tweakers: part 1

The latest book I am reading about how meth is destroying the lives of gay men is a bit sobering for me and also brings back many unpleasant memories. The examples used in the book resonate with me and relates on so many levels to the days that I used meth. I have been sober for over seven years now and yet the addictiveness of the drug still frightens me. I like the book, it reminds me of why I had get away from meth. Although I would like to hear a story chronicling a person recovery and all the hardships a person must undergo to rebuild their lives. As for myself, it seems, it took forever and at times I doubted whether I would ever be happy and fulfilled. All I remember hearing are the horror stories and never any successses. It seems that everything would forever be bleak. In my opinion the negatives are overstressed in order to prevent the possibility of any possible users from taking that often fatal step. I would do the same, but the doom and gloom, is not what a committed recovering users wants to hear.

I haven't completed this book, when I do, I comment again.

I recently finished this book. It was an interesting deviation from the normal book topics I choose. I admit I understood little, but I gleaned enough information to get a sense of what the author was attempting to convey. I feel like a understand a little more about the evolution of the financial world. I understand more of the reasons leading to the recent collapse of our nations finance world. It is dry reading, but I recommend this book, however I am still mystefied by the worlds intense obsession with money. Yeah... I need it, but I still don't get why it should take priority over so many other more relevant isssues.

Vampires

Lately I have been reading more novels about Vampires. I have always like vampire themed stories, even before the vampire mania sparked by the Twilight novels. For me, Anne Rice set the tone and standards for the current crop of authors.
Twilight was great. I read them all. I then moved on to the Bluebloods series, and then onto the novels by P.C. and Kristen Cast. They are fun reads, but they do awaken the inner school girl. So much for machismo.
However, I did start reading Vampire Vow. A fun and sexy story of gay vampire lovers.
