running with scissors

this is the title of the latest book i'm reading by augusten burroughs. i read a review of it a year ago and have been wanting to buy it for quite awhile. it's a crazy memoir of this guy's childhood. it's funny and sick all at the same time. as you read it, you are just in shock that it is all true. although i've only read about 50 pages, i highly recommend it. if i change my mind later, i'll give you an update. here is my favorite line from it so far...
this is after the mom uses maxi pads to construct herself some instant shoulder pads...
"She is delighted with herself. It's as if she has drawn a picture and placed it on her own internal refrigerator door."
isn't that just great?

Is it still good reading? I've been wanting to read that.

very funny still. there was a gay sex scene, but it didn't really bother me all that much. i'm still laughing out loud.
