Possible Side Effects
Augusten Burroughs

St. Martin's Press, 2006

Another laugh-fest from Augusten
I was a little worried when I started reading "Possible Side Effects," because the first couple of chapters are kind of slow going. However, I am a big fan of everything Augusten Burroughs has ever written, and this book is no exception. It didn't take long for the ...
  
  











  



  
Running with Scissors: A Memoir
Augusten Burroughs

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006

Nearly a masterpiece of white trash literature
This is a memoir (and a painfully sad one at that) of an boy ill-raised and neglected by a wildly irresponsible mother and psychologist-friend. Such brutal neglect is when a 33 year old pedophile molests him (a 13 year old boy then) on a regular basis and masks the ...
  
  











  



  
Sellevision: A Novel
Augusten Burroughs

Picador, 2003

Crude and Wickedly Funny
This, Augusten Burroughs's first book, is sort of a combination soap opera and farce. It's fast moving, irreverent in the extreme, and very funny. It's also a bit crude at times, which I mention simply as a point of information, not as a criticism. When I mention ...

A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father
Augusten Burroughs

St. Martin's Press, 2008

a wolf that grows on you
It started slow but i'm glad I didn't give up on it, because it really grabbed about 1/3rd of the way in.
  
  











  



  
Magical Thinking: True Stories
Augusten Burroughs

St. Martin's Press, 2004

Augusten Burroughs's break-out bestseller Running with Scissors reinvented and redefined the memoir. Dry proved that he could do it again. And now, with this collection, he sets a new standard for the personal essay. Whether he's describing a contest of wills with a deranged cleaning lady, the simultaneous thrill and self-disgust that comes from ...
  
  











  



  
Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's
John Elder Robison

Random House Audio, 2007

BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!
This book, above all the others I have read on the subject of Asperger's, is a must have. I gained more insight into how my oldest son might think by reading this book than any book written by people with a lot of initials after their name. Believe me, if you have a ...
  
  











  



  
Dry: A Memoir
Augusten Burroughs

Picador, 2004

Sharp, candid, and surprisingly poignant...
The fact that I finished this book in one day *probably* indicates that I enjoyed it. Indeed, the only novels that I recall where I truly laughed my head off were from chick-lits, trivial as that may sound. But, really, Burroughs has managed to be disarmingly droll ...
