One title on the list:
Lit by Mary Karr (2009).Read about the other entries on the list.
I remember reading this profound memoir of alcoholism while I was struggling with substance abuse myself. Because I identified with a lot of Karr's behaviors and thoughts, Lit gave me insight into what was going on inside my brain and body. I loved and hated and appreciated reading it.
Lit is on Lindsay Lohan's jailhouse reading list.
