Drinking, Smoking and Screwing   (book)

Drinking, Smoking and Screwing: Great Writers on Good Times
Drinking, Smoking and Screwing: Great Writers on Good Times

Such a good book. A celebration of vices (if you choose to label them as such), and the people who enjoy them. My favorite quote from the book:

"What's your name?"
"Laura."
"I'm going to call you Katherine."
"Ok."
[And then the author proceeds to refer to this person as Katherine for the rest of the story, to the point where you forget what the character's real name was.]
So hard to choose a favorite, though. It's just filled with great stories, engaging environments, and interesting people.
