Loved, loved , loved this book.
I do not know why I havent read his stuff before.

I enjoyed this book more than Running With Scissors due to the various subjects of the essays. Many focused on Burroughs dating life, which, at times, sounded hilariously (scarily?) similar to my own. Overall, the book seemed much lighter and funnier than his memoir, which made it easier to read.

not as amazing as magical thinking, in my opinion, but still one of the best books i've ever read. he's so goddamn hilarious.

This one was my least favorite of the Augusten Burroughs books I have read. It didn't hold my interest in the same way that "Running With Scissors" and "A Wolf At The Table" did.

Although there are some parts of this book that are outdated (there’s a bit of transphobia and tokenization of trans people in his chapter about Christine Jorgensen), the stories themselves are absolutely hilarious. I have read this book three times and I still laugh just as hard. My favorite chapters are “Commercial Break”, “I Dated an Undertaker” and “Debbie’s Requirements”.

A couple of the essays were laugh out loud funny, but 3 out of 27 isn't a high batting average. By the end, I thought him tedious. BUT worth the read to find the very very funny ones.

Funny laugh out loud writing. I’m still trying to grow the same passion for true, short stories that I have for a good work of fiction.
