One of my new favorite shows on right now is Flipping Out.  It's about a guy, Jeff Palmer, who lives in LA and his job is flipping Million Dollar+ houses.

So I've been reading this book called Smashed (Koren Zailckas). It's about a girl who started drinking when she was 14 and her life dealing with all her drinking, her ups and downs, and her way out of it.
