Great, classic David Sedaris. One of the few writers that can make me laugh out loud! He is perverse, irreverent and so dead-on with his descriptions of people and situations that we all know.

Painful, laugh-out-loud stuff, Sedaris is a master of wry humor. I had a lot of "I can't believe he really said that!" moments.

Some of this is amusing, some is pretty raw. Some is a little of both! LOL

David Sedaris makes me laugh. I liked "Me Talk Pretty Someday" better. That was the first book of his that I read. His chapters on learning French had me uncontrollably giggling to tears. I still think about his experience on that subject and smile.

Maybe I was sometimes reading while asleep, but I never found the corduroy and denim connection...

I will definitely read more of David Sedaris.

This did not live up to my expectations, after reading the reviews of others and seeing the high star ratings. It had its laughable moments, but I ended up not liking it enough to finish. Find Laurie Notaro's autobiographical books SO much more humorous. Disappointing read for me.

I didn't know anything about this book or this author prior to starting the book; I just knew that several of my friends had it on their to-read lists and that it had pretty good reviews. I'm glad I decided to read it, though. It was entertaining, funny in parts, almost sad in others, and a very fast read to boot.
