Running with Scissors (Augusten Burroughs) - Memoir of this dude growing up as a gay kid with crazy parents and a freakazoid foster family. Excellent.

I read this book because I was in a situation where I had a ton of time to kill and nothing else to do. I thought it was terrible, but I read the whole damn thing because I had nothing else to do. It was fun though that it took place near where I live (amherst and northampton, ma), but that's about it. I'm not much of a literary critic, but the writing seemed nothing special. The molestation stuff just grossed me out of course. This author I've heard compared to David Sedaris, but the only common thing I see is that they're both gay. Sedaris is HILARIOUS. I have a book of short stories by him forget what it's called but it's great. I've rambled on too long, I'm sorry, but bottom line is, this book sucked.
