It’s refreshing to have an intellectually challenging text again. I’m following the text well enough to understand the basic idea so far, the author wants to open all understandings of addiction to create the widest, and in his estimation, most accurate scope of what addiction is, so that it can be fully understood and encompassed in the respective sciences that it ebbs in and out of.

I am so close to being done. I can’t almost taste it. It’s been a good read. Apart from any of the text actually says, which will be written about, this marks the first book of what I can only hope will be a larger pattern of reading challenging texts.

This book is forcing my hand over and over agin at beocming an avid reader. I love it, and its contents so dearly, for what it means for my cyberpunk game and my knowledge of the world, but it is so dense, and I am so unlearned.

Done with chapter 3. I’ll finish this book yet, and carve out a place I can read in the home. I have to read more than just once a week.

Finally I feel the book has picked up! Interesting insights to the kind and what addiction is. No longer bogged down by definitions and pretense.
