Although junkie journals are the new thing (Pete Doherty and even Kurt Cobain), Nikki Sixx has no interest in glamourizing his former "love affair" with heroin. The long-awaited publication of the Motley Crue bassist's diaries from 1987 (the Crue's debauched heyday) is a quick read, but hardly a simple one. Accounts from friends and band and crew members give an engrossing view into fame's dark hole of addiction and depression. The Heroin Diaries will make you feel dirty and horrified, but you won't be able to put it down.
