Running with Scissors

I remember reading this book when it first came out; I hated it. Since then, I've read Dry and Magical Thinking by the same author and I seem to have completely changed my feelings about Burroughs. I have renewed sympathy for him, the byproduct of negligent parents, our consumer-driven society, a frighteningly destructive psychiatrist, and a pedophile.

I was so taken with the book, in fact, that I received it today and read it all in one sitting.
