Finished #7
While in Wisconsin, I read You Better Not Cry: Stories About Christmas by Augusten Burroughs. The first story was about Augusten's Christmas as a 6 yr old child. Some parts of this story were absolutely hilarious. He seemed to be a very naughty child and we didn't really get a sense of how "bad" his parents were. The other stories were about different times in Augusten's life (mostly his late 20's). Some of the stories were sad and some were weird. I read Running with Scissors and Wolf at the Table, so I know a lot of the background stories about why Augusten doesn't visit his parents/family for the holidays. I felt the whole book was just okay, but really liked the first and last stories in the book. I liked learning about his new partner and the relationship he has with his brother. And like I said, the first story was really funny. Other all, I still prefer Sedaris.
