Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus. So at the age of twelve, Burroughs found himself amidst Victorian squalor living with the doctor's bizarre family, and befriending a pedophile who resided in the backyard shed. The story of an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of, and the Christmas tree stayed up all year round, where Valium was consumed like candy, and if things got dull an electroshock- therapy machine could provide entertainment. The funny, harrowing and bestselling account of an ordinary boy's survival under the most extraordinary circumstances.
A moment later, two girls came running down the hallway, side by side. They both had long, greasy, stringy hair and dirty clothes. They were Vickie and Natalie; I'd met them before at the doctor's office. Natalie was a year older than me, thirteen. Vickie was fourteen. Natalie was okay, but Vickie was weird. She didn't even live at home. Natalie told me she lived with a bunch of hippies. (查看原文)

有些地方真的是目瞪口呆,人怎么能在经历这些事之后还能继续接纳世界。但是有的时候情绪居然有共鸣。大概也是像作者说的,总还是有明天的。

2019.12.17-12.20 感觉像惊悚剧,生活比剧更可怕。总觉得现在的人很容易出现精神上的问题,很难判定。 写得太顺了,就是那种语言简单,但是很好看的,我为我读过的所有不太糟的英文书给高分,主要是为了自己付出的时间,为了自己那一刹那享受英文的感觉,也可能是费了很大的劲儿的坚持。总之,值得。 对了,太露骨了,露骨的有些不适。
