But he also makes some very important points about Asperger's, namely: 1. Aspies are socially inept because they lack innate abilities that we take for granted: how to pick up on behavioral cues, empathy, etc. 2. They're not sociopaths; ...             Sellevision: A Novel136 reviews Augusten Burroughs Picador, 2003 Another Great Showing From Burroughs Sellevision was recommended to me by a friend, who suggested the book because I love the writing of Max Barry (of Company and Syrup fame). It turned out to be a great match. Sellevision is a hilarious book -- simultaneously dark humored and lighthearted. It follows the lives of four hosts on the Sellevision network, a home shopping network. It might sound a little boring, but in the course of ...             Magical Thinking: True Stories165 reviews Augusten Burroughs St. Martin's Press, 2004 Intriguing, a little disturbing Augusten Burroughs does not come across as what you'd call a "nice person," but he's so very honest, funny, and sometimes self-deprecating that the reader can't help being on his side, as he battles a crazy cleaning lady, kills a mouse in his tub, and moves in and out of quasi-relationships with gorgeous, but unsuitable men. And frankly, he appeals to that deep, dark, mean corner we all have ...             Possible Side Effects100 reviews Augusten Burroughs St. Martin's Press, 2006 Possible Side Effects Excellent book!

If you like reading about things that seem crazy, this is a MUST read for you.             Sellevision1 review Augusten Burroughs Picador, 2003 Lovin' Burroughs' Writing, and this one made me laugh Of the other AB books I've read (both memoirs) they claimed to be funny, but they hit a bit close to home, so I didn't really laugh, but still had to read them. Couldn't put a single work of his down without a fight(at times had to go to work). Sellevision, on more than one occasion had me laughing out loud. What a treat! If you like Augusten's work you'll not be disappointed with this until ...             A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father123 reviews Macmillan Audio, 2008 All The Better To Break Your Spirit, Son We've read much about the dysfunction of Augusten Burroughs's life, starting with his 2002 memoir "Running With Scissors" in which he described the bizarre experience of living with his mother's psychiatrist during the tumult of his adolescence.
