add The Wings by Gustavo Santaolalla to the mix and i'm crying my heart out.

Shuggie Bain is a book about losing one's self to the coldness of addiction. losing what you were and what you could be, and losing the people you care about.

quite emotional. we are all one. do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
