Not bad. Not bad at all..
First I read "Running with Scissors". Not the best book I've ever read, but it was definitely interesting to get an understanding of his background before reading the rest of his novels.
In "Dry", you get an idea of how his work life is affected by his drinking. Then his experience in rehab. Then his quest to stay sober after the fact. I really enjoyed this book.. it stays true to his witty, sarcastic, self-indulgent writing style that we've come to enjoy. With Burroughes, you either like it, or you don't.
Well, I like it.
The follow-up "Magical Thinking" is definitely a MUST read if you enjoyed this.
