This review is from: Addict's Damn: An Interleaving of Architecture and the Homeless (Paperback)
brilliant book, sometimes hilarious, mostly a brutal sobering splash of cold water in your face, for example: a poem that says something like: "well its pretty lonely at the bottom too" haha! that is great: at once funny, cynical, sad, and totally real
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Addict's Damn: An Interleaving of Architecture and the Homeless (Paperback)
This is the best book ever written. Whenever I feel sad I read it and it makes me laugh. It provides an entirely fresh and realistic perspective on the modern condition. I think it is one of those books that will be discovered in a thousand years and be the center of a religion or something.
