What you have in your hands is an honest-to-goodness gift, no strings attached. You may keep it forever and ever, pass it on to a friend, or release it in the wild like I did. I know it may seem a little odd to find this lying around--it's my way of touching the lives of others in a positive way, with the hope that it made your day. :)

From alibris.com:
"From the bestselling author of "Running with Scissors" comes his most provocative collection of true stories yet. Readers should be forewarned and read the label: hilarious, troubling, and shocking results might occur."

I'm taking this book with me on vacation in Montauk, NY this coming week. I will be leaving it somewhere there.

RELEASE NOTES:

Left on a bench with 2 other books in front of Anthony's Pancake House.

Hello, I am new to BookCrossing and just finished reading this book. It was hilarious! I found myself giggling aloud unexpectedly at different points. It's been a month since I've had the book and I am finally done with it. My family and I were on our way home from Montauk when my husband picked up this book, along with another, while waiting for me to come out of Anthony's Pancake House. What a nice surprise it was for two reasons: 1/ the book is by Augusten Burroughs (I read "Running With Scissors" last year and enjoyed it a lot) and 2/ that someone purposely left a brand new book behind on a bench so a complete stranger would have the pleasure of picking it up to read it! For this, I thank you, Aunt Nub. I am always looking for a good book to read, and with two young children at home, there's hardly time to read, nevermind browsing in a bookstore. Anyway, I plan to release this book in a couple of days at or near the Hayden Planetarium in NYC. I hope the next person who picks up this book will find this whole experience as much fun as I did.
