Overall Rating: 3/5

The Wolf of Wall Street confirmed my deep suspicion that I could never be a drug addict. I’ve enjoyed dabbling, certainly, but to spend that many YEARS out of control seems like a metric shit ton of work. Honestly the whole book was similarly exhausting. JB’s life (or rather, the decade chronicled in this book) was a wild and ridiculous romp. I’m currently coming off a week long birthday-bender and even that’s been draining to me. I almost don’t have the motivation to go get hammered tonight. I will obviously (because I’m not a little bitch), but I’m longing for the days of exercise and sobriety and a marginally clean house. Instead I’ve got piles of random things on every surface, and I HIKED STONE MOUNTAIN FUCKING HAMMERED. WHY DID I FEEL THE NEED TO BE HAMMERED FOR THAT EVEN?! I CHUGGED BEERS (WITH AN S) IN THE PARKING LOT BEFORE HIKING.

Any who, the book is delightfully written, and totally worth reading, but I don’t really have a lot to say about it. The high points were the general malarkey, obviously, and JB's relationship with the Duchess. I don't know what it says about me that I love wildly toxic couples but I'm a million percent sure that it's nothing good. Either way, I’m happy I’m not business mad, and vaguely pleased that I don’t have zillions of dollars to throw around. I’m certain I’d be even more hideously self-centered and ridiculous if either of those were the case.
