I finished listening to Smashed A Story of a Drunken Girlhood by Koren Zailckas.  It is an autobiography of the author. (I have a long list on Overdrive. I'm going to try dwindle down that list so this is one of the book on my list.) Big Warning: there is some cussing and a few sex scenes. Koren started drinking at the age of fourteen. (I was 19 when I first drank. It was a wine cooler.) The reason she got into drinking was because her best-friend handed her the bottle (it was whiskey).( Her best-friend reminds of a girl I knew.) She drank all through high school, college, and some adulthood until she finally quit at the age of twenty-three. She drank to get drunk. (I don't.) Even though it's sad, I did like this book. Now I'm reading The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King. It is a standalone book of the Dark Tower series.

Interesting plot. So it all started with Koren drinking and then her life swirled around upside down until she decided to change the course of her life? Looks like I want to read this.

Whisky at the age of 14 is very bad for the body. I imagine it's a pretty sad book, but interesting.

They don't sound like books I would read.
