AudiobookMost of this book was really good, kind of sad sometimes. However, the story about his drug addiction and how he became an alternative artist wasn't very funny or sad or really interesting and it went on too long. But other than that, enjoyed the book a lot.
I'm a bit late - ok, a lot late - in arriving at the David Sedaris party. And, yes, of course I loved the book. It was funny, yes, but I loved it, too, for some of the qualities that date it back to the 90s. I know it's strange to hear something from the 90s seems dated, but I think that's the natur...
Another great book by David Sedaris, I was literally laughing out loud. Which was only slightly awkward since I was at work with headphones in. Anyway this book is mostly about Sedaris' life in France and the comic issues that come with moving to a new country.
I first tried reading this book back in 2013, when it was gifted to me, but I stopped about half way. To put it simply, I didn't understand it the first time around. I didn't realize that it was nonfiction, nor did I specifically realize that it was a collection of essays, as the edition that I own ...
I gave it 3 stars because "naked" was better in my opinion. I can't drive out "get your ya-ya’s out!" from that collection. there was more Stories in "naked" . this collection mostly looks like essays .
This is, hands down, one of the most entertaining memoirs I've ever read. Author David Sedaris sets the stage for the challenges he faces in learning to speak French by introducing us to his early experiences with a speech therapist. We then learn about his family, with his jazz-loving dad, long-s...
A collection of bitingly funny essays about growing up, his family, and other topics, "Me Talk Pretty One Day" is hardly news to Sedaris fans (it was published in 2000), but I read it for the first time last week. Sedaris skewers his own efforts to learn French, and his searingly funny "Twelve Momen...
A collection of presumed autobiographical essays. Most of the situations are quite funny, only a few are not. The first essay has to do with visiting the school speech therapist and the utter futility of the effort. There is an essay with a hilarious dialogue occurring on a Paris Metro train.
I've actually expressed my deep, unconditional love for David Sedaris on this site before. With this re-read I realized my love might be a tad unhealthy. You see, last week I was reading this book while a character on a sitcom was reading "When You Are Engulfed In Flames". Rather than being happy...
