Author:Augusten Burroughs
Genre:Memoir
About:Story of the earlier life of Augusten. He is adopted by his mentally unstable mothers shrink whose family is dysfunctional beyond words. Everyone lives on prescription drugs and has their own problems within the main focus which is Augusten. An amazing page turner.
Recommended For:Pretty much anyone. Although the material is quite mature.

Title:Dry
Author:Augusten Burroughs
Genre:Memoir
About:A sequel to Running With Scissors, Augusten tells the story of his alcoholism, rehab, dying friend, crazy boyfriends, and his realization of what he is becoming and where he is going. His writing is very blunt but humorous. I love it.
