Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. is pretty good. It's about different kinds of addictions.
I also recommend the movie as it really gets you thinking. The book is sad as well, but the movie really shows the emotions the characters are feeling.
Also, the book could be a bit hard to follow because of his writing style uses no grammer. But I love his books.
