    <body><![CDATA[Jim Carroll is brilliant, a true artist of literary proportions. Sounds like B.S., but its true. Reading about his crazy life, one adventure to the next, and realizing that he actually lived through it all, not just survived, is really inspiring. He has an air of honesty mixed with a pose of smug st...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10998706">more...</a>]]></body>

It gave me a great nostalgia for the New York art scene of the late 70's, early 80's--Warhol, Basquiat, The Velvets, Ginsburg, Max's--that whole scene. I just read it again but this time it mostly just made me miss colle...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6145110">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Essentially the sequel to the Basketball Diaries.  Carroll talks about life in the seedy Manhattan scene, working with the likes of Andy Warhol and hanging out with Ginsburg.  At the very least, this book is incredibly entertaining.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This shit probably isn't even true.  But the scene where the big giant goo glob on his arm bursts is worth reading.  I guess by the time I'd read this I'd decided being a junkie was cool in itself, you have to do cool things too.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Jim Carroll is one crazy dude. This book is an engrossing dive into the drug culture of 1970s NYC. You'll be amazed that Carroll survived and is alive and doing pretty well today. ]]></body>
