What are you reading?

I just spent the better part of my lunch break (a very short one) diving into part of "The Butler's Guide to Running the Home and Other Graces" by Stanley Ager

I have SO many more things I need to be reading lately like books around education management and classroom psychology but I needed a reprieve. This is a good one!

Straight Pepper Diet: A Memoir
by Joseph W. Naus

What I find interesting about addiction memoirs is that men who are addicted (granted, I usually read female authors but the few male authors exhibited this), seem to carry megalomanic or narcissistic personalities (often coupled with horrible treatment of women or sexual addictions) whereas the women who struggle with addiction seem to internalize their issues and are more self-destructive rather than wreaking havoc on the lives of others. Both sexes are in pain, but how they convey or process/deal with that pain seems very different.
