You were great. We want you.\" I can now trace my manic adult tendencies to this moment. It was the first time I felt deeply thrilled about something just a fraction of an instant after being completely crushed. I believe those three words \"We want you\" were enough to cause my brain to rewire itself, and from then on, I would require more than other people....- from Magical Thinking's \"Commercial Break\"A contest of wills with a deranged cleaning lady. The execution of a rodent carried out with military precision and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. A different kind of \"roof work.\" Dating an undertaker who shows up in a minivan. This is the fabric of Augusten Burroughs's life: a collection of true stories that are universal in their appeal yet unabashedly intimate, stories that shine a flashlight into both dark and hilarious places. With Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs goes where other memoirists fear to tread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003etrue stories that give voice to the thoughts that we all have but dare not mention.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49679421833456,"sku":"sku-51292017230112","price":12.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/magical-thinking-true-stories-by-burroughs-augusten","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
