The Danger of Drugs.......2007-04-12

This odd mix of biography and novel takes some terrible situations and turns them into a quest for purity. You won't be able to put it down.

entertaining, true that heroin doesn't affect atleticism.......2007-04-02

fun story, sure it's dark but you know what you're getting when you pick it up. I like that this book despite being a novel shows how heroin use doesn't cause health problems other than its addiction. too bad he became a thug on it, which also doesn't need to go hand in hand with drug use despite popular misconception. loved the movie, the book is about as good. can relate to more of this book than probably anyone on amazon (nyc, prep school, former precocious poet & dope user, successful shooting guard, thriving today). not saying that to brag but to say it holds up enjoyably as hell well as an odd mix of biography and novel.

Transforming the ugly into the beautiful.......2007-03-07

This is the best book that I have ever read. It is so well written that it takes your breathe away. In this book he transforms horrible awful situations into a quest for purity. I didn't want this book to end.

Don't pollute your mind or give it any artistic credence.......2007-02-01

Overcompensation for his fundamental assessment that he is unredeemed trash. Tedious, self absorbed, and boring in a way that only a life of getting a next fix or hustle can be...which means that the majority of Carroll's worldview is the stall of a public bathroom. The lame narrative contrasts with Trinity School days and the clean-cut world of athleticism and basket ball versus his rough trade street life is such an obvious transition anyone else would have fallen asleep before making it up as their effort to construct his life as a work of art. One suspects this poetry was originally written on toilet paper and should have been flushed. Unfortunately it was preserved; and the whole disgusting mess is served up here. Don't pollute your mind or give it any artistic credence.

My favorite.......2006-12-31

I absolutely love Jim's style of writing. So I'm a big fan of the "basketball diaries". Overcoming my own addiction issues I can relate with some of the stories in the book also. Read the book, skip the movie.

Great book.......2007-03-13

Jim Carroll is one of the greatest writers of our time, and all he is doing is recording testiments of his life. The Downtown Diaries is possibly one of my favorite collections of writings/poetry. I definitely suggest anyone who comes across his work to buy it. It is well worth the read.

Great Poet and Writer.......2003-08-28

After seeing the movie "The Basketball Diaries," I decided to pick up the book. It was excellent. Then I read "Forced Entries." I admire Jim for writing without barriers. He sees humor in things you wouldn't think of. I couldn't put this book down. Because of those two books, he is now my favorite author/poet. His poetry is worth reading also. Everything he writes is a personal, touching, and often a scary reality. When reading his stuff, you can picture yourself in his world for a day. You see through the drug-addict's and poet's eyes. To understand the lengths people with drug addiction go through, you have to read at least one of his books. However, you'll be craving to read more.

Lasers in New York / Cysts in Manhattan.......2002-12-06

(the review title makes reference to elements in the book)

This book is old but no less compelling than it was upon publication. Be forewarned though as Carrol's preface admits that
this slice-of-post-60s junkie life is not entirely true to
actual experience or sequenced correctly (relative to time)
but I assure you that these are mere details in what is otherwise a fine and strangely reassuring book - at least for those with personal experience with drug addiction.

There is a tone of optimism which keeps emerging throughout the work which reaches a climax as the author finally manages to rid his body of literal festering corruption afterwhich he basks in the afterglow of the early NYC sounds. One is left with the
impression that Carrol is more addicted to the Big Apple than any substance.

For those looking for an expose of "look what I did
to support my junk habit" well look elsewhere. This is much less
about heroin than it is the general vibe surrounding the early 70s in NYC. If you were there you will experience a strong sense of deja vu - for those who weren't well use this book as your
starting point and move forward.

tears and laughs.......2002-09-12

an immensely humorous, frolicking, and impressively well-written look inside the corridors of New York city during a special time period. I tremble at the thought that The Basketball Diaries might not have been popularized, for then we might not have been so exposed to the sheer "Zen" talent of this writer.

Very few writers combine humor so well with literary splendor.

very enjoyable.

Being Pure.......2002-07-19

As the book says, it's a sensational sequel to Jim Carroll's first book of diaries, "The Basketball Diaries." I personally loved this book for irrelevant reasons. First, the last reviewer as stated that he/she didn't like this book because it jut told about his sex life and all that. What she wanted was for him doing drugs and stealing and stuff because he/she might have thought that that type of stuff was cool. This isn't how you should look at Forced Entries and especially The Basketball Diaries. In Forced Entires, Jim Carroll seaches his way to be pure (get off of drugs) through facing unknown challenges and taking the hard way down the road. He meets celebrities like Andy Warhol, he flees to Californai to cure the heroin addiction. You have to see Forced Entries in the litural sense and that Jim Carroll created himself out of literature. At the end he pours the sin of his bodily remains out of him and faces the more pure life, where he reaches the spot he was looking for in The Basketball Diaries and Forced Entries. "I can feel the window light hurting my eyes I just want to be pure..." - the last page of The Basketball Diaries

Jim Carroll is in a class of his own.......2006-07-22

Fear of Dreaming is the most interesting book of poetry I have ever owned. It is what inspired me to become a poet. I would recommend it to anyone... even if they didn't like poetry. This book just might change their mind.

Carroll's writing and imagery are as original as it gets.

Great read! .......2004-12-29

Jim Caroll's poems are very detailed, a painter spending hours painting the same piece of art to give it that sense of amazement. This book has some very deep pieces of poetry from Carroll's amazing imgaination and writing ability. The stories of heroin hell, nighttime in New York, and rock and roll. You don't go wrong with this collection.

Subtle, powerful poetry.......2004-10-12

Jim Carroll's poetry has appeared sporadically over the years in small, relatively difficult-to-locate collections ("Living At the Movies", "The Book of Nods"), so I was relieved to find this on the shelf. His work is an odd kind of majesty, a masterful coagulation of the early decadents, the modernists, the beats, stellar figures like Rimbaud and Baudelaire, yet with a voice all his own. He gracefully charts the map from humorous to solemn, sacred to profane, personal to universal without skipping a beat. He is a magician of images, and in the tradition of his predecessors weds seamlessly the most disconnected visions: "The ambulance passes/we sit up/pinned eyes of nuns that genuflect between stars/ambassadors on marble staircases in steam tropics..."Midnight" pg. 80). After having read "The Basketball Diaries" I feared that Carroll's poetry would be bitching and whining over his checkered and painful past, but nothing could be further from the truth. He seems to take the attitude of a grateful warrior to his time spent shooting dope, losing the friends he pays homage to without self pity: ("Some detectives in worn suits slide at my door/They told me Eddie was dead on Lexington and 103/stabbed in the jugular at mid-day/outside two automated hospital doors/He often walked East Harlem after dark, high on reds, calling out the black man/And I salute you, my brother. "New York City Variations" pg. 183).

Most of Carroll's poetry, though, is the product of his own imagination and only refers to his youth when necessary. He is obviously aware, though, of the parallels drawn between his and the chaotic life of Arthur Rimbaud with his enchanting prose pieces like "Rimbaud Goes To the Dentist". For all that he is not capitalizing on the success of "Basketball": you know just from reading the first few ("The Blue Pill", "The Distances") poems that Carroll would have become famous just by virtue of his talent and not his sordid autobiography.

This is a must for those who love raw, genuine poetry.

beautiful.......1999-11-25

this book is incredible. "to the secret poets of kansas" is by far one of the most wonderful poemsi have ever read. i encourage anyone who is looking for poetry to read and savor these poems, they are certainly worth it.

A VERY NICE COLLECTION OF POETRY INDEED.......1999-11-22

While not every poem in FEAR OF DREAMING is particularly great, most of the poetry included therein is EXTREMELY great, and considerably poignant. I love Jim Carroll's work and found this to be one of his best collections yet. A must-have volume for all Carroll fans and any avid fan of poetry (especially that of the modern era).

Not the 'lost generation'.......2006-06-11

someone listed this as from the "poet" from a NEW generation
of poets........ actually he isfar from it!!!!He seems to be still from (and not too original) the 60's. And as far removed from RIMBAUD as I am from O.J. Simpson. He has never left that
novella of 'the basketball diaries' which seems to be page after
page of the same ole thing with absolutely nothing sought nor learned...altho he did seem to share it with us but after 160 pages of self-centered cosmology that continuously just rewriting the season and year that was boredom to me (who also was there) incident after incident, over and over!!!I am not even from N.Y. and have never been there..... The movie gave the author much more than he deserved and somehow made the whole thing interesting and that doesn't usually happen when you go from book to movie.
I have a friend who also expierenced this altho he does not have anti-gay asinine, neither clever or intelligent approach of jim carroll pronounced for his own reason to get occasional money.
for his desires. One thing is that the movie did accomplish this and get all reasoning many steps above of this 'poet" who is firmly continually living on his past while trying to create a sentence while omitting several words is unable to have the advanced, brillant, forseen cleverness of RIMBAUD....to classify overrated Mr. Carroll may I just add the following: bovine, thick, witless, ill-advised, ludicrous, mindless, unthinking and un-wise....I have no intention of listening to the Carroll band
because I can imagine very accurately which way they claim for the hopeful peneration!!!

The City Poet.......2002-07-30

Living at the Movies surely proves that Jim Carroll is one of the most creatve poets of our time. These collective peoms were written from his Basketball Diaries period (1960s), and from his Forced Entries period (1970s).

"Jim Carroll has the sure confidence of a true artist....He is steeped in his craft. He had worked as only a man of inspiration is capable of working...His beginning is a triumph."
-Gerard Malnga.

This book was originally published in 1973, and was the first aboveground publication of Jim Carroll's work in poetry. He shows uncanny virtuosity. His power and poison are reminisent to Arthur Rimbaud, and one of the strongest forfeiting books of poems in the New York period. In language he deals with his pains and pleasures: The city, love, hope, rebellion, menacing, and friendship. These poems emerge in the manical city, Jim Carroll is not afraid to push the edge, he has transformed from a New York street punk to a litural artist.

One of the best poet's of the new generation........1998-09-22

Jim caroll is one of the best poets of the new generation of poets. This collection named, "Living at the Movies" shows just how creative and visionary he is.

Book Description

In 1973, at the age of twenty-three, Jim Carroll burst upon the poetry scene with his first collection, Living at the Movies, a book of vivid and inventive verse that won him comparisons to everyone from Arthur Rimbaud to Frank O'Hara.

Carroll's first new book of poetry in more than a decade, Void of Course presents work composed over the last two years. His major themes--love, friendship, desire, time and memory, and, above all, the ever-present city--emerge in an atmosphere where dream and reality mingle on equal terms. These seventy-seven poems range from graphic, sensuous shorter pieces to edgy stream-of-consciousness prose poems to longer, more contemplative works such as "While She's Gone," an eerie tour de force of longing over a departed lover. Void of Course establishes that Carroll's power and purity of vision are stronger than ever.

leaves me hoping for another book to come..........2007-04-27

A great book of poems from one of the only still living great poets. After having carried this book with me for years now, it still leaves me hoping for another future book of poems from Carroll.
Many of the poems in this book truly accomplish what I believe writer William S. Burroughs tried so hard to do, and that is to inspire in the reader a fever dream of the surreal that peirces through to the core of the reader and makes one really stop to think.
Oddly enough, Carroll even has a poem in this book called "What Burroughs Told Me."
The only reason this gets 4 star rather than 5 from me is because of my personal apathetic attitude towards anything having to do with Kurt Cobain (whom I never liked and always thought was way overrated).

a true poet, for all his wounds.......2004-01-29

jim carroll possesses a poetic of the wounded and lost which seems unrivalled to me today by any other modern poet. it's not, as some critics claim, that kids read his work because "he's the kid from the basketball diaries", or "he's done a lot of drugs".
the attraction of people, whatever age or place in life, to carroll's poems and music seems a sign of enlightenment to me: a man writes about the underbelly of society, which he spent most of his life exploring (and eventually becoming trapped within), and comes out at great cost to himself, with pearls. Carroll's "8 Fragments for Kurt Cobain" is a really moving piece, and if you have any knowledge of the subject you will feel something shift inside you while reading it, and a deep disappointment that it ends at all. ("The lyrics were strange/"Chalk Skin Bending"/"Incognito Libido"/But copying them down I realized/That they only fit into the barrel of a gun.")
Perhaps that should be the final word on Cobain's death.
The last poem is also touching: Carroll talks of love betrayed and acknowledges his inevitable aloneness.

Read it.

Thought Felony Drainage........2002-08-11

This is sensational. I saw him do some stuff from this in New York a little while ago and went and bought this the next day from the lady with the stand at the corner of St.Mark's and Astor Pl.
The words here are just gold. For some reason it reminded me of Leonard Cohen's stuff, it has that air of 'it's always been there, I just said it best' about it.
'Jukebox' is a highlight, as are most of the pieces headed simply 'poem'...
Oh, just get it, it's not that expensive, and it's really worth it.

Disecting the Void.......2000-07-13

Jim Carroll is the last poet hero. VC is gritty & unrelenting in its pursuit of redemption. i make it a habit to highlight illuminating verses, i found myself highlighting most of this book.

Jim Carroll should win The Nobel Prize for christ's sakes. The Book of Nods definitely prooves that.

Helped me create a multi-million dollar business!.......2006-03-04

The book may be a bit dated now, but when I read it back in 2001 it was chock full of fantastic info. The details are excellent and the writing is easy to understand. I would HIGHLY recommend it.

Not for the little guys.......2005-07-24

We bought this book thinking it it would help small online merchants, but the "Merchant" in the title is misleading. It is written more for large organizations that are having a complete website developed custom for them, not for the little guys trying to get going. Also, hundreds of new ecommerce programs have been developed since this book was written which this book does not cover. And the information is outdated, such as it is no longer necessary to open a merchant account directly with your bank, or process your own credit cards on your website, as we later found out. There are companies and resellers who take care of all that for you, even including security.

If you are going to start out with a big business like Amazon or Yahoo you might find the background information useful, but most businesses start out with just one or two people trying to learn everything. If you are small entrepeneurs like us, look for something more specific.

The author refers to many websites and out-dated quotes. Good book, but in our info. driven society I would suggest you read something newer or do a web search.

Does this book need another great review ?

Just in case you are swayed by the couple of bad reviews, I just thought I'd mention that this is by far the most useful book I've read on setting up an Internet Store.
(and I've read a few !!)

It's worth buying just for the section on selecting the right e-commerce software package.

There is lots of other useful stuff in there too.

Don't waste your time trawling the web looking for all this stuff, unless your time is worth about 0.0000000001 cents an hour.

It's all in here for a small price, and a lot more accessible too.

the basketball diaries ages 12-15.......1999-12-03

jim carrol's work brings you into his life of new york city and an addict's fragments of hell. his life story in the basketball diaries tells a tale very few writers could put to page in the way he has; it is a great book in which shows the raw truth on page and recommend to everyone.

CARROLL REVEALS MORE THAN MERELY HIS OLD LIFE.......1999-11-22

In THE BASKETBALL DIARIES, Jim Carroll not only renders easily imaginable (and easily sympathized with) adversities- insecurity, addiction, melancholy, self-loathing, fear, identity crises- to which thousands of American youths are subjected daily, but demonstrates a vast capacity for proficient writing, the sort which swallows the reader's attention like a shark might devour a minnow and holds it long after the last sentence has been read. A phenomenal work! I enthusiastically recommend it to all.

(Also recommended: CATCHER IN THE RYE, by J.D. Salinger; ON THE ROAD, by Jack Kerouac; JOHN BARLEYCORN, by Jack London; CAT'S CRADLE, by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.; THE WOMAN WHO WALKED INTO DOORS, by Roddy Doyle; BIG SUR, by Jack Kerouac.)

how can a diary be rated as a bbok?.......1999-11-02

the basketball diaries is nothing more than the story of one man and his hardships. There are thousands of stories not unlike Pete Carrol's and although this was well written, is is nothing more than a diary. true writing can be more respected when it is fictional, showing there is an obvious creative process. this is not creative

two thumbs up best book i have ever read.......1999-04-05

in basket ball diaries jim carroll captures the unbearable truth of life as a heroin addict on the streets on new york city...i was completely taken away by the events he described...his word completely mesmorized me...i was captured by his writing....his words imspire the writer in me!!!!
