I read this but honestly don't remember too much about it. "Me Talk Pretty" stands out much more in my mind. Funny at times, but I think this book couldn't quite live up to all the hype about it, and I ended up being disappointed.

Basically a collection of random short stories covering events throughout David Sedaris' life. I listened to the audiobook version and I like that Sedaris actually read it. I found several of the stories amusing. My main problem with the book is that the stories don't connect together and are told in random order so a story from childhood is followed by a story from today then a story from twenty years ago which confused me.

This wasn't my favorite of his books. His stories are usually the humorous view of awkward situations, but most of these just seemed sad.

Just finished the audiobook and I loved it. I found myself laughing out loud in my car. Tons of fun.
Hilarious as usual!
