recommended for: people who see themselves as a bit off
Another book recommended to me by my sister that I loved. Another Augusten Burroughs book I loved. I laughed at loud repeatedly at Burroughs' social observations and his take on the world. Apparently, I was enjoying Magical Thinking so much, that a stranger who happened to be sitting next to me on a flight where I came across the story of Burroughs threatening a small child (also stranger in a crowd) with physical violence, that he had to get the name of the book and the author, and I happily obliged. It was not as wild or insane as Running With Scissors, but that is not a negative, just an observation. It was a bit more serious and melancholy towards the end as he veered away from the humorous and was relaying the mundane details of his relationship. Regardless, the book was very very funny and I would recommend it to anyone who has read any of his other works and enjoyed them.
