I liked "Junkie" a lot -- more accessible (readable?) than
other Burroughs' books that I've read. Not too h-b if I
recall correctly, but a good slice of the life and the
milieu.
I'll tell my brief "Junkie" story: I stayed up late finishing
it, and then the next morning I had a (finalist) job
interview. One of the interviewers asked, "What was the last
book you read?" It was a financial institution with required
drug test, etc., so I couldn't say "Junkie." I fumbled for an
answer, which made me sound like I didn't read much and/or
was a liar. The alternate title that popped out of my mouth
(my previous read) was Jonathan Latimer's
"Lady in the Morgue." I didn't get the job.
