>>8711403
Speaking of Hubert. How different is the novel of Requiem for a Dream compared to the movie.

I always see the comparison between the movie adaptation of Requiem and Trainspotting(and at least in my opinion RFAD adaptation decides to portray the story in a similar way to a horror movie, meanwhile Trainspotting to walks between a realistic way and something out of a music video).

I'm not >>8718850
but the original poster and I'm 24
I didn't mean to imply Burroughs was the height of literature, his work is just a really good example of drug-related literature

I agree with >>8717534
with exceptions of cannabis, maybe coffee and some other drugs that I believe do enhance reading

Drugs without a doubt enhance writing
