I totally don't get it =( Maybe my sense of humor is too warped or something, but I just don't see what people see in Sedaris. I got bored about halfway through!

So funny and moving. Sedaris is able to make uncomforable things hilarous. I love is ability to poke fun at himslf and ohers but seem nice doing it.
One of the first times I've read an entire Sedaris book and it leaves me hungering for more slightly overshared/embarassing and telltale stories from a writer and a family that if anything, lives vicariously and with zeal.

I started reading this book on an airplane and less than an hour into the flight a woman leaned over her friend to tap me on the shoulder and ask me what book I was reading 'cause I was giggling. THAT'S HOW GREAT THIS BOOK IS. It is laugh-out-loud-on-a-plane good. Each story is an amazing bit of humor and insight an it was impossible to put down. I felt bad talking to my friend who picked me up at the airport, 'cause all I wanted to do was keep reading . . .

It made me cry. In a good, laughing way. Granted, it was only once, at a chapter entitled "Big Boy." If you've read the book, you know this reflects rather poorly on me. So what if I have the sense of humor of a 10 year old boy?

i forever am in debt to Eimile for introducing me to David Sedaris. i can read any of his books over and over and still crack up laughing every time.
One of my favorites.
