reading augusten burroughs

I am an Augusten Burroughs fan. I like his writing so much that I do not even recommend him to the average library user. This is because I am completely selfish and vulnerable. I am afraid to even offer him up because their possible rejection or lack of interest in his writing would crush me. I save Augusten for just the right person. There are twenty some memiors, non-fiction, edgy/unorthodox fiction titles that folks will espouse and I hand them Augusten in full confidence. I want them to mourn, gasp, laugh out loud and sulk when they read his stuff. I want them to get him. Can I get an autographed book for this glowing review of Augusten?
