I felt compelled to pick up Magical Thinking today, while making my rounds at the local Borders. I had previously read Running With Scissors and enjoyed its unnaturally raw edge. Burrough’s ability to make the abnormalities of a life thought as lost, seem perfectly natural, gave me a renewed sense of self. After reading, I had the ability to look at my own life and realize that it’s alright that I’m not perfect. My mistakes and surpassed obstacles have only built me into the person that I am today. Now that I’ve bought Magical Thinking I hope I can just find the time to read it!
