2.0

This book actually erred on the side of being too thorough. I don't want to know what people had for lunch or breakfast. I'm not using that as an idiom, specific meal contents are listed more than once.
I didn't really know much about Timothy Leary beyond, "Turn on, tune in, drop out" and I learned an awful lot about how he could very possibly be the most selfish and self-absorbed person I've heard about in awhile. It was a little hard to keep going at points because of how unlikeable Leary is.
