Finished reading a Quirky book: WARNING ADULT CONTENT

[lucy979]

I read this book yesterday and thought I would recommend it to you all. It's called 'Running With Scissors' by Augusten Burroughs. Here is what the summary says:

Running with scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother ( a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her phychiatrist, a dead ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargin. Suddenly , at age 12, Augusten found himself living in a dilapidated Victorian in perfect squalor. The doctor's bizarre family, a few patients, and a pedophile living in the backyard shed completed the tableu. Here ther were no rules: there was no school. The Christmas tree was left up until summer and Valium was eaten like Pez. And when things got dull, there was always the vintage electroshocl-therepy machine under the stairs....

After reading that I just had to read this book. WARNING: It is not for the weak of stomach. There is graphic talk to gay sex among other things. But, it was still a good read and it makes you happy to not have his life.

Anyboby else read this?

No I haven't read it. If that is the book jacket, I can honestly say I would never read it either. I don't like reading or seeing programs on TV where children or animals are hurt.
