As the title suggests, I’ve finished the memoir ‘Running with scissors’ by Augusten Burroughs and I loved it, but one has to wonder…how much of it was actually real.
Edit : I think user blueskies1800 put it best “He is so funny. I don't care if it's true or not.”
Edit 2 : If anyone has book recs with similar humour, please comment down below. Genuinely one of the funniest memoirs i’ve read.
Edit 3 : Deleted 3 of my previous paragraphs cause I’ve changed my priority to wanting my recs in the comments for books that a similar in FUNNYNESS.

This book was given to me by a mentor. He said it would make me feel less "weird" because of my upbringing and trauma. My opinion is that he probably had to fill in gaps, but the story he tells at its core is real and really happened. We had weirdly similarities experiences.
