Did you mean is it recommended reading? If so, the answer is no, I just bought it because that's where the title of the movie came from, I'm a dork and I thought it was cool. William S. Burroughs did a lot of heroin, and I think the book may have come from that. He was a cool guy, and some of his books are good, but that's not one of them. Michael Dolan
