Book: Running with scissors

First book and event has been pencilled in! Come along and discuss the book at it’s half way point (Chapter 11). Look forward to seeing you there!

"Running with Scissors" is the true story of a boy whose mother gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist—and the strange, sometimes horrifying, sometimes hilarious world he found himself in as a result.
At the age of twelve, Augusten Burroughs found himself living in a dilapidated Victorian house with the doctor’s bizarre family, surrounded by a world where rules were few, reality was negotiable, and sanity was optional. There were no chores. No school. Augusten could do as he pleased, including smoking cigarettes and reading medical textbooks, while his guardians performed Bible-dipping and believed their dog could talk.

Welcome to the funny, harrowing, and unforgettable memoir of a childhood lived on the edge of chaos—and survival.
