Review title: "Sometimes I feel like I have hives in my brain that I can't scratch..."
Product review: I read RUNNING w/ SCISSORS not too long ago - and a friend passed along DRY. The book was fast - a well-paced fast, and for much of it, I had a very hard time putting it down. Burroughs' again sets his own tone - using the thick and painful material of which his life and esp. his childhood is comprised.His long (long) investigation of substance abuse - and the twist that makes all of this substance abuse come across as if it might just be everyone else's fault for not giving him the right foundation and coping mechanisms wore thin after a bit.Burroughs is at his best when he is getting on with the business of living. The inside journey at rehab, his relationship with a reformed crack addict and most especially, the HIV+ Pighead are indelible and incredibly revealing.Once again, I really appreciated his writing, his humor (dry, sarcastic, poignant), and his spirit.
