Because you seem like the kind of person who might enjoy a book about a gay 13 year old with a 30 year old co-dependent lover who sings "You Light Up My Life" at a mental institution (the kid, not the lover).

No, seriously - because you seem like the kind of person who would be interested in a book where the shrink thinks God is speaking to him through his bowel movements and scoops the turds out of the toilet so they can dry on the picnic table and be kept for further analyzation.

No, really - because the book is pretty twisted and you seem like a person who likes twisted things.

I thought "Dry" was better, if only because I didn't spend the majority of the book asking myself "Is this dude for real?"

Personally I thought the book sucked, But then again if someone isn't getting killed by page 50 or so , it's hits the trash can.

I just finished it and was genuinely sorry when I got to the last page. I want to email the author and see how he's doing.

Good picks, Christy - any more you want to recommend?

I thought Running with scissors was funnier, but Dry was a good follow on book into his adulthood. I think I've read Dry like three times already, it's that good.

It's a very realistic book on alcholism.

I'm reading Ann Coulter's book "Treason". I've had it forever, just never got around to reading it. The myth of "McArthyism" she discusses is pretty interesting. Angels and Demons is a good book. I liked it better than the Davinci Code.
