Augusten Burroughs - my verdict after reading one book.

'Running with Scissors' - hugely entertaining. Can't remember the last time I found a book so amusing. Many laughs. Highly recommended. My next read of this author when I get round to it - 'Possible Side Effects'. Hope it's even half as good. (Thanks particularly to you, Wonderboy, for mentioning A.B.)

    Thanks, Larrry. Glad to BE back in my own familiar surroundings. As usual will be following my pals' blogs daily.

    Running with Scissors was a great read. It didn't transfer to film as well as it could have, but good books rarely do.

    Kyle, on following up your comment I've only just found out what a starry cast this 2006 film had - as well as none other than beautiful Brad P. attached to the production side!. I had no idea - and to cap it all, it inexplicably didn't get a cinema release here in the U.K. otherwise I would definitely have seen it. Now I'm extremely curious and despite your reservations I've got to catch up with it somehow. Thanks, pal.
