Augusten Burroughs? If you like him, you should read David Sedaris (you probably already have.) And if you like David Sedaris, you MUST read David Rakoff.
yes! I love Augusten Burroughs, I've read all the books he has out...
and I've heard of David Sedaris, but have not read any of him.
haven't heard of David Rakoff, though...
as for A Great and Terrible Beauty, that's been on my list for a while. I've heard Pullman's a good author, too
current reading now:
The Tale of Murasaki by Liza Dolby
Chuck Palahniuk
Douglas Adams
Douglas Coupland
Neil Gaiman
and if you haven't read Catch-22, Franny and Zooey, Bachelor Brothers' Bed and Breakfast or Ascension, you want to get on that, right now
