books of the week i completed my reading of medium raw. my takeaway? the all american hamburger died some time ago. what would anthony bourdain think about the millennial burger joint meme circulating? i want to try a tasting menu one day in this lifetime, as well as to visit a michelin rated restaurant. my new read is unmask alice by rick emerson . i read the book go ask alice when i was in 4th grade, and it left a mark on my impressionable preteen brain. this book, however, uncovers the truth and backstory on how this controversial book/diary was actually a total scam, and how it boosted the drug panic and satanic panic (as the "anonymous author" also wrote a similar diary about a teenage satanist). i am so excited to dive into this investigative piece. 15 years later, let's uncover the truth about alice.
