Possible Side effects By Auguten Burroughs

I like everyone else loved Running With Scisors and after the epic thaat was Guests of the Ayatollah I needed something light and that I could read real fast. Possible Side Effects fit that bill perfectly. I liked this book because it reminds me why books are sometimes better than any other art form its imediacy. This book is kind of a big book among people I know yet its not like seeing the season finale of Lost or going to see th Da Vinci Code. Everybody has an intimite relationship with this book good or bad. there is nothing better than to really feel like you are getting to know the author in a way no one else will. I don't know how one could really apreciate this book without having read either Running with Scissors or Dry. if you have and like them then you have to read this book. I was laughing at the prospect of some of these stories like Augusten and his boyfriend going to a bed and breakfast run by a doll collector that freaks him out. Or buying first editions of john Updike books because " He is going to die tonight and they will be worth a lot". The most striking thing about these stories are the tone. Burroughs is a very funny man yet he loves humanity. I truly felt like i got to know the gist of him and relly liked my time with him. i can't wait to read what he has to say next.
