I bought Bossypants! I am leaving it closed until I finish atleast a few other books I'm reading.

I haven't read many memoirs or biographies. Anthony Kiedis' Scar Tissue is my favorite of the ones I've read.

I had super high hopes for Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs because I love love love his fictional work, but it didn't deliver as I thought it would and ended on a sort of flat note. I understand that writing a person's own story as opposed to making one up will align differently, but I was still disappointed. Probably the most anti-climactic thing I've ever read. Up until the ending, though, I was completely interested and fascinated. The stories he tells of his broken home and insane mother are so intriguing. He has others that I'm interested in reading, though - Dry, Possible Side Effects, A Wolf A The Table. I am hoping they will be more interesting or end on better notes than Running With Scissors.

I tried reading When Rabbit Howls because it is technically a memoir, but I found myself loathing it and thinking it was such a load of trout and couldn't continue to finish it. I can empathize with Truddi Chase and her disorder, but the manner in which it was written did not seem believable at all, and seemed exaggerated to the point of ridiculousness.

Eat Pray Love is on my to-read list, among others, I'm sure.
