I have read two books by Burroughs and will read no more. I find him a bit too precious; "look at me, I had a messed up life. isn't it funny and aren't I fabulous?" Fans of memoirs and especially RUNNING WITH SCISSORS will find this followup interesting, I am just not one of them

Interesting book, especially for those interested in fine arts. It was a bit more intellectual and less funny than I had hoped though


Three Men in a Boat / Three Men on the Bummel (Oxford World's Classics)
Review Date: 2/19/2007


No one loves the British comedy of manners more than I do, but I found this dull and verbose
