David Sedaris is a writer who I'd heard only good things about, and when Me Talk Pretty One Day was part of the crazy Kindle sale I picked it up. The book is a collection of essays which are auto-biographical tales of Sedaris growing up, his bouncing between careers and finally moving to France with...
I thought I was going to love this so much! After all, whenever I watch interviews with David Sedaris I always laugh my ass off. But nope, this book didn't do it for me at all, sadly. I ended up borrowing my friend's audio book, thinking i'd enjoy it better, but that didn't help much. I did like, ho...
I read this while living in another country and learning the language. I found it hilarious and apropos. So much so, I sometimes read some of it out loud to my roommate, who also appreciated it. This was the perfect book for the time and place. I've tried reading a couple other Sedaris books in the ...
I've read Sedaris before, but somehow I never got around to reading my copy of what is arguably his most famous collection of essays. I bought it when it came out, and it just slipped through the cracks. I'm going to be seeing him in a week, so I figured now was the time to remedy the issue. I'm gla...
I listened to the audiobook and laughed uproariously at times. Other times I was in awe of how raw the introspection of one's life can be, I marveled at how brave one must be to write, and wondered about the miraculous nature of life's journeys.
My first David Sedaris book. I can definitely see why he has such a strong fan base. Sarcastic, yet witty. Loved his story about his experience learning French!
David Sedaris has been on the edge of my consciousness for some time. I’m fairly sure that I’ve heard him interviewed on the radio. Or maybe he turned up in these parts to participate in a writers’ festival. In any event, I hadn’t read anyting written by him before and I read this book not because I...
This is the first David Sedaris piece I've read, and I very much enjoyed it. While I like memoir, I often pick up fiction instead, so this was a refreshing break from my typical reading. It's been awhile since I laughed out loud so much while reading a book. Sedaris definitely doesn't hold anything ...
David Sedaris is my sassy gay friend. I love him and I loved this book. His self deprecation mirrors my own so well, and during my brief time reading this, I did not feel like the only underachiever in the world. My only problem with the book was some of the placement of the chapters. They did not...
