 Rating:  - Best Sedaris collection!This is Sedaris' best collection of short stories/memoirs/autobiographies. His writing is wonderful, in part because it's hard to separate fact from fiction. He has a true gift for writing. My favorite story is the title one but all are great. These stories are great to read all at once or one at a time! Rating: - Do Not Read While Eating Because It's So Funny You Might ChokeWhen I opened this book I had limited time so I decided to look for the shortest essay in the book so I could sneak in a quick read.

Perhaps I didn't read it in the right frame of mind. If I had approached it as a collection of short stories instead of a continuing narrative, ...

It was one of those books I meant to get to someday, but probably never would. Finally someone clued me in. I read it in a day. Sedaris's short stories are the funniest I've ever read. He draws on recollections of his own family to give us realistic ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
