The following are some of my favorite coming-of-age memoirs. Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs being by far my biggest inspiration.
- Running with Scissors, Augusten Burroughs
- A Wolf at the Table, Augusten Burroughs
- The Glass Castle, Jeanette Walls
- Stop-Time, Frank Conroy
- This Boy’s Life, Tobias Wolff
- Rubyfruit Jungle, Rita Mae Brown (this is a novel, but said to be autobiographical)
- Riding in Cars With Boys, Beverly Donfrio
- The Boys of My Youth, Jo Ann Beard
