Five Best Books on Alcoholics

No, not on recovering alcoholics and not the best books on recovery but here is an article from the Wall Street Journal giving author, Lawrence Osborne's picks of the five best pieces of literature depicting alcoholics.

Osborne is the author of "The Wet and the Dry: A Drinker's Journey" and an upcoming novel, "The Ballad of a Small Player".  In the article linked below he gives his five picks of the best--and I'll say scariest-- books depicting active alcoholics. If you need help keeping it green any of these five will do.

Of special interest is what he has to say about Stephen King's scary thriller, "The Shining."

Here's the link:
