Haha, I never read 'Dope Fiend', but the power of literature to influence a young mind is fascinating....I did read 'The Basketball Diaries', about age 13, which repulsed me, and shook me up, and 'Requiem For a Dream', as well as a dozen other books about heroin, I never did that, though I did a lot of coke for years as a kid. Friends of mine went another way.

I've never read Basketball Diaries but I did see the movie. :francis:

yeah that book might honestly be the most disturbing literature I read as a youngin. I eventually had to stop reading DG as you already knew that shyt wasn't going to end well :mjcry:

Yeah, it took a good minute for me to shake myself from that book.

Everything was all bad.

All bad.

There was nothing sweet in DG's novels.
