running with scissors

I don't know how much of this memoir is actually true but wow, it's messed up. to say that a kid's crazy mother gave him away to her even crazier psychiatrist doesn't do it justice. if you love movies about dysfunctional families, this one's for you. Annette Bening, Evan Rachel Wood, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes, and Gabrielle Union were all particularly entertaining. I'm not sure if I should read the book or not. any opinions? anyone out there still reading this blog?
