    Has anyone taken up an interest with this semi-new author? He has 4 books out that I know of: Running With Scissors, Dry, Magical Thinking, and Sellevision. I highly reccomend reading these in that particular order as the first three are taken in chronological order from events in his life. These are honestly some of the most harrowing yet hillarous stories i've ever read. My appreciation for this author grows after each book I buy.

    Highly reccomend to anyone who enjoys dark humor.

    I've only read Dry, but I recommend it highly. Thank you, TwoStep, for bringing this gem to our attention.

    I just bought Running With Scissors last week. I haven't started to read it yet as I'm reading two other books first.
