by Augusten Burroughs
From the bestselling author of "Running with Scissors" and "Dry" comes a collection of essays about his life, with flashbacks to his childhood. Generally humorous and always poignant, Burroughs opens up about the mishaps of his life.
With titles like ""Try Our New Single Black Mother Menu", "Mint Threshold" and "Killing John Updike", these essays are amusing and insightful. Burroughs walks a careful line, telling you more about his life than regular people would, but never more than you need to know. From alcoholic to bestselling author, life never seems to flow smoothly for Burroughs. Lucky for us too because his experiences become fun reading.
I feel like I have read "Running with Scissors", though can't be sure for some reason. I'll be reading it for sure, along with his others, in the future.
