Q: What is a book you didn't like that all your friends raved about or what book did you love that wasn't popular?
One of my favorite authors is Augusten Burroughs, and I talked my sister into reading all of his books. She liked them but wasn't in LOVE with them like I am. Running with Scissors is probably his most well known book since it was made into a movie. The book didn't really get the kind of reviews I thought it should have, but I absolutely love him and the way he writes his memoirs. I own just about all of them. :D I can't seem to talk any of my friends into trying out his books. They don't know what they're missing, lol.
How about you? I'd love to hear your answers! :D
Okay, so the only Running with Scissors I know was the music album by Weird Al...a great album, but I'll have to check out your suggestion.

ReplyDeleteI've never heard about Running with Scissors, I guess because it's not YA. But I will check it out later since I don't want just to stay in YA bubble only.
And Thanks for stopping by my blog =D
Yeah, check it out! It will seem like he had such a crazy life that the situations he finds himself in couldn't be possible, but he swears it's true. from what I've read in his other books, he's consistent, and as shocking as it is, I believe it really happened to him. Thanks for following! :D
DeleteI haven't heard about that book. cute blog design!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, new follower!
You should check out the book. I highly recommend him; he's a fantastic author. :D Thank you! I'm following you, too. :D
DeleteI've never heard of Running with Scissors!

Hi Heather, thanks for following! I'm following back. :)
DeleteYou've gotta read Augusten Burroughs! His books are great; love that man! :D
I've heard of it but never read it because I'm not too big on memoirs. I've heard good things about it though so maybe I should give it a chance!

These memoirs are hilarious, I promise you! They're quick reads, and I feel like I'm really getting to know the author. I think people who write memoirs are brave, putting their lives out there like that. Thanks for following; I'm following back! :D
DeleteI've seen the Running With Scissors movie, but I've not read any of his books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, I'm following back :)
The book is better than the movie as they usually are. :) Thanks for following! I appreciate it so much! :D
