Also 'Dry', Augusten Burroughs.
Thanks LDT. I have Pack of Two on order and plan to read it aloud to my Labrador. Now I'll get Dry as well. I read Burroughs' Running With Scissors and found it hilarious. In a disturbing way.

It's very early days for me, as I said, and I'm struggling with some of the hokey language in the Big Book. I am persevering, but it's super helpful for me to read stories of recovery written in the kind of perverse, cynical voice I'm used to when it comes to literature.
