    Hi, Jason!

    No, I'm not reading 5 books at once. haha! Gaiman is what I'm really reading now. The others I've started but haven't gotten around to finishing them.

    I'm browsing through your shelf. Impressive collection.

    Thanks for adding me, by the way. Take care now!

    Hey Jason from Australia!

    So, Sellevision, I didn't like it. Well, I started it and just couldn't get into it, so I stopped. I want to revisit it eventually and see if I will like it now that I am a little bit older. Running with Scissors is great-BUT-Magical Thinking and Possible Side Effects are my two favorite Augusten books. They are a little more all over the place, as far as not being a chronological memoir, but they are fascinating. So I would recommend you jump on those next!

    You know, joke all you want about raunchy sex stories, it's cheaper than porn ;)

    I actually just started reading Haunted and I like it so far, mostly because it's a little different than his other books. Or it seems like it, at least the tone of it.

    Hi there! I'm kinda intrigued by your love of transgressive fiction, I was looking at your shelf & I realize that we have no books in common, which makes me think maybe I should try to read your kind of books too??!! xD

    Hey Jason!
    Regarding your question... in my opinion, the best book by Nick Hornby is High Fidelity, because it's very funny and light... so by reading what you like, i don't think you'll like it that much, but i can recommend Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs, he deals with some of the topics you mention, but he writes in such a way that the situations may seem funny, but deep down they are too twisted... so if you decide to read it, let me know what you think... also very good is Sellevition (same author)
