This made me feel so many emotions at once and I really loved that. There are so many poetic and philosophical lines. Yeah, we get it, you're gay, a poet and you do drugs. But beware- this guy is a pedophile and I was so close to phisically throwing up whilst reading his journal.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
there are so many theories and assumptions made by the author and literally none of them were proven/supported by data. absolutely no idea where all of these ideas come from

Die Verschwörungsmythen in Kombination mit der unterhaltsamen, ironischen Art der Kommentare des Autors waren sehr fast-paced und amüsant. Hab's in einem Rutsch gelesen und permanent lachen müssen
