Personally, I couldn't get through the "Big Book." I'm currently reading "Alcohol The World's Favorite Drug" by Griffith Edwards. It's a scientific/historical look at alcoholism that I find really fascinating. I also plan to start "Drinking A Love Story" by Caroline Knapp. It's supposed to be really good... will let you know.

I got my first Big Book in 2000 before I entered AA. I used to love slamming rum and coke while reading it (especially the stories).
I recently finished "90 days" by Bill Clegg. It was his story of early sobriety. Very honest and well written book.

Happy fourth! Quick follow-up.. "Drinking A Love Story" is amazing. It's been very profound for me (the author's life as a reporter and high-functioning alcoholic kinda parallels mine). Anyway, I really recommend it. Sadly, the author died at 42, a month after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

I would give my thumbs up to:
The Spirituality of Imperfection by Ernest Kurtz/Katherine Ketcham (it's been incredibly important to my recovery)
and
Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Drinking (which really nailed it for me ..that the stuff is POISON)
