Augusten Burroughs is the author of
Running with Scissors, Dry, and
Magical Thinking, all of which have been
New York Times bestsellers and are published around the world. A film version of
Running with Scissors starring Annette Bening and Gwyneth Paltrow was adapted for the screen by Ryan Murphy. Burroughs has been named one of the fifteen funniest people in America by
Entertainment Weekly.
He recently told
Newsweek about his five most important books.
One title on the list:
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville.
When I read the first page I had to ask, "Wait. Is this as cool as I think it is?" It is.

about the other four books on the list.
