Dry by Augusten Burroughs

I had never read any of Augusten Burroughs' work. But I cannot wait to read some more.
Dry is the story of Augusten getting sober. Since I didn't read Running With Scissors first, I didn't know Augusten had problems with alcohol/pills. I love his dry wit and sarcastic tone. I don't think anyone could make rehab this funny. If I wind up with an addiction, I request a rehab with Augusten Burroughs.

Book three DONE: Running with Scissors

While wading through Middlemarch, I took breaks reading another book from my list, Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. Nutshell: funny, disturbing, disgusting, and I don't believe that this book is entirely the gospel truth. :) 4 of 5 stars. Full review found here on my blog, Corrodentia Weekly, or here on GoodReads.
