12-10-09 You Better Not Cry by Augustin Burroughs – Non-Fiction

3 – So I decided to get into the Christmas spirit by trying to find a funny, quirky book to read this year since it seems to me like I’ve just read The Stupidest Angel, my usual Christmas read.  Well, the beginning of this book was very funny because Burroughs was a completely odd dork as a kid.  Suddenly, in the next chapter, he’s an adult gay man waking up next to a gross French Santa Claus.  Whoa.  Then he stays a gay super alcoholic for the next couple chapters and the book is not funny.  This became depressing and soul searching.  Maybe in another mood I’d enjoy it, but not what I wanted.
