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.)

Hi Ray. Missed you. Glad you're back :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Larrry. Glad to BE back in my own familiar surroundings. As usual will be following my pals' blogs daily.
ReplyDeleteRunning with Scissors was a great read. It didn't transfer to film as well as it could have, but good books rarely do.
ReplyDeleteKyle, 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.
