Running With Scissors is a good book. Burroughs isn't a superb writer in the sense of an impressive vocabulary and witty word play, not by a long shot, but he can annotate his experiences and what he sees in his mind in a realistic, and understable, form of writing. It's very "in your face," which has its ups and downs. Overall, his books are decent. I like him better as a writer for DETAILS, though.
