Pain Killer By Barry Meier

[DarthPerineum]

I just picked up Pain Killer: A "Wonder" Drug's Trail of Addiction and Death By Barry Meier. Ive only just finished the second chapter so i'm not that deep into it but so far its a rather good read. Has anyone else read this book? I plan to post a little review of the whole book once i finish it but i was just curious if my fellow opiophiles have read or heard of it?

Haven't read it, but I do hit the bookstore at least three times a week so I may have to check it out...

Damn good reading, Darth, I read that one myself. Also a lot of Terence McKenna, John Lilly, and Aleister Crowley.


take care and enjoy the book

"Check out the big brain on Synack" JK man. Maybe that explains why I thought you were older.

I started to read "Painkiller..." but for some reason it didn't grab me by the balls and hook me in, like "Junky/Junkie (however you want to spell it).

I do recognize that to compare these two books is somewhat assinine. They are two different styles by two radically different authors.

just my piece of brain for you.

No, I sure haven't, but I know, that like a lot of us, I am an avid reader, and really would appreciate it if u and others would give book reports when yer done. I know I just read Junky again a while back, while I was kicking, and so different, what I read in it now, and what I read in it when I was eighteen...

And I know most of u probably know this, but with all her faults, the U.S. generally *does* have a great library system, and u can order just about any book from library loan from yer computer now...so there u go! Even in prison I can read, and I'll tell u, life without opiates or books both, would be terrible...

I'm reading "Our Right to Drugs: The Case for a Free Market," by Thomas Szasz. And he gets my heart pounding at time, with the beauty and fucking *truth* of what he writes...I'll try to do the same, give a book report when I'm done...I think that's a great habit to get into, and first book report I see gets points from me, not to mention gratitude!

Death by blackhole and other cosmic quandries by Neil deGrasse Tyson.(astrophysist)
This book is fucking amazing if you into space or life on earth and the smacking down of "god" in our schools and in society in general. a must read for any agnostics or atheiest out there.

Also Chuck Palinhuck, or something like that, the guy who wrote Fight Club, all of his books are fucking great, especially his non-fiction work,.

Unfortunatly i didnt make it far into the book. I dove into the book head first and it was holding my attention and i was really interested in the book but like Rex24u it lost my intrest and i stopped reading it. Eventually i forgot i even had the book until the library called me up mentioning that i had a book of theirs, hehe. Its was fairly interesting in the beggining but then it turned into kinda a boring book. My ex just picked up Junky by William S. Burroughs and she is all into it so hopefully once she finished it or gets bored and forgets about it i can swipe it and start that.
