    Maybe I should read more or pay attention to what I'm reading more.
That was not a criticism of your perception of that piece. I just don't find it to be very Hemingway-esque. Others may disagree. As for the description of a drug induced state, I thought it read like someone that had never had a drug induced state writing about what they thought a drug induced state would be like. Also, is she actually on drugs at this point? I don't recall that she was. Am I wrong here? If I am, then I missed the part where she was literally getting high.

I'm guessing I misread that piece.

No she wasn't actually getting high, I don't think. I think the author/book is her drug! I mean obviously there has to be something mind-blowing about the author in order to have 4 people utterly obsessed with this guy, right?

Yeah, that's what my take was too. Thanks, now I'm certain this section was over written :)
