Books: Broken
I am reading Broken, the autobiography of William Cope Moyers, a drug addict. It begins very slowly and seems like a second-hand account, setting the scene with a lovely childhood. But it gets interesting once he begins talking about his addiction.

Oddly enough, I heard a dj on a morning show talking about William Cope Moyers, a CNN anchor who suddenly went missing, because it turned out he had a bad drug habit nobody knew about. Then later in the week I noticed the autobiography in the discount bin at the book store.
