1.		Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's from Random House Audio Price: $21.86 Customer Review: As a huge fan of author Augusten Burroughs (Running With Scissors, Dry, etc.), it wasn't until I met him at an event that I learned his brother John Elder Robison (who is mentioned in his books) also authored a book, so I ordered it immediately. The great thing about Look Me in the Eye is that it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father from St. Martin's Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review: I know I should post this as a comment to some of the reviewers, but I do think a bit of reflection on what constitutes a valid critic and what does not might help all of us Amazon buyers/readers. I find it very disturbing and annoying to read so many negative critics on grounds such as: "this... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Running with Scissors from Atlantic Books Customer Review: First off let me state that the first half of this book was well written. When you get to the middle of the book it goes straight downhill. I really didn't need to experience the vivid details of his first gay experience. I don't care in what fashion it has to do with this bizarre story, and if the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Dry: A Memoir from Picador Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I was addicted to reading this book. Finished it in a week. This is Burroughs BEST work. I have heard that a movie is in the works, as long as it isn't as horrible as 'Running with Scissors' was, then I can't wait to see how they do that. I can relate to Augusten in his career choices, making... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.	[no image]	Possible Side Effects from St. Martin's Press Customer Review: Short stories or vignettes of this nature can be read in twenty minutes, out of order, one by one, all at once, etc. But do they have to wrap up with a concise moral lesson for the memoirist? Burroughs certainly writes with humor about his life; both the darker moments as well as the lighter.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Sellevision: A Novel from Picador Price: $10.40 Customer Review: Having worked at a 'Sellevision'-esq place, although I won't get into specifics, I was rolling on the floor- laughing while reading this. It was so much like the real thing, it amazed me. I'm a HUGE Burroughs fan and wasn't too sure if a novel would be a good read by him, but I was wrong. Being able... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Magical Thinking: True Stories from Picador Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Augusten Burroughs has lived a fascinating life, made more hilarious and fascinating by his story telling. It is a great introduction to his life and writing, although it was not the first to be published. His humor is self-deprecating and sometimes mean, yet still charming, witty and fun. We've all... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.	[no image]	Sellevision from Picador Customer Review: 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... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
