Recently read The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star by Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe fame.
It is a brilliant book comprised of diary entries between December 1986 and December 1987 and entries later added when the book was written. It was published in 2007 I believe. It is often a humorous and brutally honest view of a heroin addicts life. From taken any drug to hitting the proverbial rock bottom and even being pronounced clinically dead for a few minutes to how he started again and continued going. The book has input and entries from those who know and knew him best then, such as his Mötley Crüe band mates.
Definitely worth a read, I borrowed my copy from a friend of mine and couldn't put it down, it's also full of Nikki Sixx's art, lyrics, random thoughts and an array of black and white photographs. I think I may have to purchase a copy for myself to read again.
Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in Mötley Crüe or in Nikki Sixx or anything drug related and just in general anyone who loves to read.
Also One quarter of the profits form this book will be donated to Running Wild in the Night, a charity for abused and abandoned children
