The closest book to me today is not American Gods (because it's in my purse!)
So the closest one to me is actually an older book called "Go Ask Alice"
"It felt like being a child again and trying to swim in the Great Salt Lake."
Not really interesting out of context but the character is actually talking about how it made her feel to eat a peanut while under the influence of drugs. The book is written in diary format and is "the actual story of a desperate girl on drugs and on the run who almost made it." At least thats what the back cover says. I read this one a long time ago but picked it up at a book sale we are having at work to benefit the American Heart Association. So I might read it again soon.
This site here has a great little article about the book.

I read this high school and absolutely loved it! We appear to have similar tastes.
This book sounds deep...
I didn't realize it is a true story. Thanks for doing Friday 56 and visiting me.
Sounds like a fun thing to try :) Thanks for visiting my blog!
