I always tell myself don't start anything by Augusten Burroughs when you have some place to be. Yep, forgot about lunch and my afternoon plans to knock this one out.

Augusten Burroughs handles dark topics with humor and wit, and I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who liked Running with Scissors.

I’m normally not a memoir person, but I really liked this one! I was very engaged from the opening line and finished it all in one swoop.
