A Plague of Ticks

I liked this reading, I read the book 'Naked' a couple of years ago but it was nice to revisit it. my favorite thing about this reading (and the book overall is really good) is that it's hilarious. obviously everyone likes something funny, but I hadn't considered reading the story as a way I could imporve my writing, I read a lot and some things have probably seeped (spelling?) into my writing from this but the truth is, I never really thought about it directly. I think just noticing this kind of thing and being aware of it will drastically imporve my writing, and hopefully it's overall hilarity!!

p.s. has anyone ever read any of the books by Augusten Burroughs? I've read most of his books and a couple of Dave Sedaris' and I get them confused because there writing styles are very similar. in fact when I first started reading 'A Plague of Ticks' I thought there was a mistake and it had been written by Bouroughs. In any case, if anyone really liked the 'Naked' selection, your sure to like some of A.B's books.
