[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 233603, member: 3419"] Fran and Jo, I think Augusten Burroughs is a provocative kind of man, anyway. Did you see the online video he made to promote his brother Jim's book, LOOK ME IN THE EYE? His brother is driving a tractor, and Augusten is asking him about Aspie stuff, and then he makes some dumb comment like, if you could make love to a computer or a machine, would't that be heaven for you? It was funny ... but ... I'm assuming his brother thought it was funny or he wouldn't have allowed it to be used for mktng purposes. I have heard that Augusten makes up stuff in his books, which really irritates me, because with-a dysfunctional family like that, why make up things? It's not like he had to make up [I]anything[/I]. I never actually bought RUNNING WITH SCISSORS ... just read other people's copies. Somehow, I didn't want him profiting ... but I was happy to pay for Jim's book. [/QUOTE]
