Dry by Augusten Burroughs

4.0

---

This is my second Augusten Burroughs read and already I think I’ve affirmed his place as one of my favorites. This book is the second in a memoir/biographical trilogy of books regarding Burroughs' life; Dry focuses on his time in an intensive rehab facility after hitting rock bottom with his alcoholism, and all of the internal monologues and moral/social dilemmas that come with it. This man was a mess, but I get a big kick out of making a joke out of everything bad that happens to me (whether or not I brought it onto myself) so I didn’t feel bad occasionally laughing at his own humorous detailings of his struggle and often downright hopelessness. I felt like I could take a seat with Mr. Burroughs on some dingy, musty couch and have him tell me all about himself in the same way his books are written and I would never get bored or tired of it.
