Most of the ones I've known read a lot. I'm not going to romanticize addiction but the image of the addict is skewed and many of them are intelligent and sensitive, which probably leads to the drugs as much as similar childhoods do. Someone made a thread in /co/ and got ripped for watching cartoons instead of doing drugs and reading indie comics with other degenerates as a teenager. The lit circles aren't much different.

I like Nirvanas music but I don’t like Kurt as a person. He would never survive in the manosphere dominated zoomer zeitgeist. I’m old enough to remember when Kurt died, showing my age here.

Well, he tried to commit suicide by pill overdose a month before the shotgun finished him, and the last time he was with Kris Novaselic (the bassist he founded the band with), he punched him out because he *really* didn't want to go to rehab, and when he got back to town, he had his buddy Dylan Carson buy him the shotgun that was used the next day, so you tell me

>Three Novels: Malloy, Malone Dies, The Unnameable by Samuel Beckett

Oddly inconsistent selections. Had a few musically complex tunes showing some depth/originality. Mixed druggie bag all around it would appear.
