A Book that Will Raise your Eyebrows

This month it is my turn to host my Woodcrest Book Club. (Woodcrest in the name of my neighborhood in Fallston, Maryland) Every 2 months, 9 of the most brilliant ladies in Harford County gather to discuss a book of one member's choosing.

Tomorrow night, I will host our book club. For this meeting, I chose a book based on title alone. Perhaps you have seen the movie or heard of the book "Running With Scissors" written by Augusten Burroughs. Do you ever feel like you are doing just that?

The meeting will be interesting, no doubt. This is the most warped and vulgar story we have ever read. Does that make it not worthwhile? In my opinion, absolutely not. Did I mention that this story is a memoir?

While reading the author's story, you will say to yourself numerous times that it is a miracle that this man is a functioning and productive member of society. His mother was mentally unstable and then turned him over to her lunatic psychiatrist to be raised. This book is not for anyone who blushes easily or is not open minded.
