I think we need a fresh post here.

So, I'm gonna throw into the ring somebody most of you have already probably read. I'm reading my first Augusten Burroughs right now, Magical Thinking is a collection of his essays and I find it fabulous (complete with z-shaped finger snapping and "you go girl!"). He's quirky, hilarious, but also very good at painting that mental picture. As my brilliant friend Trav says, he "says it so I can see it."

I think I might have to read a bit more of his stuff, though, before I want to run out and see "Running with Scissors."

ooh i loved the book running with scissors but the movie reviews look bad. i'm excited to check out your site. i've been at the library lately with zero ideas. how lame is that?

i loved, loved jonathan franzen's "corrections" but am not digging his memoir, "discomfort zone."

just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents.
