I.C.Shadow Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I picked it up almost a year ago because of its cover art =p Don't disregard it simply for it being on oprah's book list. http://www.randomhouse.com/nanatalese/millionlittlepieces/# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest im not witty Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 honestly. i dont care if hes lying. so my son puffed up the details of his brushes with the law. who wouldnt. as long as he really was addicted to crack and really stopped smoking it without the help of baby jesus and AA. then its a good book in my opinion. actually now that im saying it.. it would be even better if he made the whole shit up. on some andy kaufman next level shit. oh and fuck oprah. i dont have cable so lets hear some of the shit from larry king when you get a chance.

methadone program Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 larry was just asking him about the exaggerations expressed in the smoking gun...like how he only commited a few crimes not the shopping list he mentions...he didnt spend time in jail...things about leonard etc....they had opra come on the phone and she back james 100 percent...i mean shit, this book has changed tons of peoples lives..who cares if its not 100% true....i mean shit, you gotta spice up 6 weeks in rehab some how..

Guest KING BLING Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Junky is a great book, especially if you had considered - which you didn't - the era in which it came out. And I don't need Chicken Soup for The Crack Head Soul - if you recovered, tell us the real story. Lying essentially says your recovery wasn't that interestting, and that you whored your addiction to make loot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
