    <![CDATA[With unconventional wit and a wonderfully weird way of looking at things, Augusten Burroughs chronicles his life on the edge after leaving his deeply eccentric foster family. Dry opens in Manhattan, where Augusten has established a life for himself as a high-paid advertising hotshot. But his past haunts him still as he tries to create a grown-up life. Dry is at times howlingly funny, devastatingly moving and, in the end, uplifting. It further establishes Burroughs as one of the most original authors writing today.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book, in addition to being an incredible read on its own, helped me to crystalize my thoughts on humor. I read it at a time when I was struggling with wanting to hold onto the sort of quippy, lighthearted, entertaining tone of the writing I had done for an alt weekly in my early 20s, but seriou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1061143">more...</a>]]></body>
