I'm almost finished with Possible Side Effects and will be reviewing it in the next couple days.

I'm now in a hotel in London in Possible Side Effects by Austen Burroughs.
... Early Reviewer book next after I finish my current read.
It's not a serious problem, though. I'm now listening on CD to Possible Side Effects by Augusten Burroughs. I was in hysterics laughing on my way to work this morning. It's so much better than listening to the news on the radio!
