I've obtained some of the books recomended in this thread and am very glad that i did. I downloaded "a million tiny pieces" on audiobook. Not sure if its read by the author himself, but the guy reading it deserves an oscar for the great job he made of it, is absolutely brilliant, its extremely powerful stuff. He sounds kind of like a hard-edged Keanu Reaves. Very very intense without being hysterical. Not sure if im emotionally unstable at the moment, but im finding it very moving im only up to halfway though section 3 so far and it has bought many a tear to my eyes so far. I am unable to describe the tale about his only friend in his youth, and his experience at the dentist, other than to say they were so moving they had me breaking down and sobbing to myself.
Ive also purchased Opium Eater on disc via ebay. Shame to say the narrator of that has a rather irritating voice, a bit like a pompous, posh, old fashioned & silly version of Alan Titchmarsh !! Sounds bad ? Yes it is !! I think its the combination of the flowery victorian language and the guys voice that gives that impression but once you get used to that its ok but very rambly. Im about an hour and a half into it, and he has yet to metnion anything concrete about consuming Opium, its all been pre-amble. But it is certainly something different & passes the time driving to and from work.
Scar Tissue seems extremely hard to get hold of on audio book without paying a fortune in postage to get it imported from the USA or Australia. Im still trying. And Ive been Outbid on ebay for the Keef audio book but i'll persist.
Once again, thanks for the recomendations folks !!
