My roommate and I, strangely as it is, share a fondness for memoirs about gay men (extra points if they are transexuals).
She had bought Running with Scissors right before the movie was released in theaters, so I rushed through to read it in time to see it with her and friends.
I loved it. So, I thought 'what the hell, might as well buy Dry'. Which I also loved.
When it was time for me to fly back from college, I was stuck in the airport with no book to read. Luckily, Possible Side Effects was #whatever in the New York Times bestseller list, and I was able to buy it.
I have to say I was disappointed. Maybe I'm just tired of reading about his life, but I was hopeing for something different than just left overs of his non teenage, non-alcoholic life.
Has anyone read Magical Thinking? Is it also a recount of Burroughs live, or what? I don't know if I should try and get it or not.
