THEY'D BE JUST AS HILLARIOUS. SOME MAY VIEW HIS WRITINGS, HIMSELF AS SAD - BUT I TRULY UNDERSTAND & CONNECT WITH AUGUSTEN - IN MANY WAYS. I LAUGHED UNTIL I CRIED IN NEARLY EVERY STORY. HE HAS A GIFT AND IS WORTHY OF A COMPARISON TO DAVID SEDARIS. I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND ONE OF HIS READINGS OR BETTER YET - A LUNCH DATE. AFTER READING HIS BOOK(S) I AM CONVINCED YOU WOULD FALL IN LOVE WITH AS I HAVE. DEAR, MR. BURROUGHS - YOU VERY WELL MAY HAVE A STALKER ON YOUR HANDS - LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR NEW MATERIAL. FTR: I BOUGHT COPIES FOR ALL MY FRIENDS; ITS BECOME REQUIRED READING FOR ANYONE I KNOW.

I will buy anything and everything written by this author. He is absolutely brilliant, and when I read his work I am obsessed with every last word on the page. It's especially enjoyable when he writes autobiographical accounts. He can take an experience like finding a mouse in the bath tub, for example, and make it captivating and charming. I like his style of writing, the way his voice comes through so clearly, the way he writes in incomplete sentences in all the right places and makes it work. There are also a few wonderful love stories about he and Dennis, like the story that begins with Augusten going to Kmart for the iron. The story isn't really about a specific event; it's about his love for Dennis. Augusten has the ability to SHOW his feelings rather than to just SAY how he feels. It is certainly the most touching tribute to a partner that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Although I don't as much enjoy the feel of holding a hardcover book, I couldn't wait until Magical Thinking came out in paperback--I had to get it immediately. And I suggest you do the same.
(Note: 'Augusten, please hurry up and publish your next book; I need my fix.)
