OMg. Northwest from New York to Detroit ALWAYS gets delayed. So annoying. But Sedaris is awesome.

He is touring all over doing book readings right now. His work is fantastic when he reads it (his audio books are a must).

I’m reading this book right now and I LOVE it so far. You should definitely snag a copy of “Me Talk Pretty One Day”, it is hilarious. David Sedaris is such an incredible writer. Love him. Love you!

Seconding the suggestion to read Augusten Burroughs’ books, but don’t start with his latest. His latest doesn’t have anything in common with his older work & you won’t understand it until you’ve read his other stuff.

Read everything David has written, and his sister Amy’s book, ‘I Like You’

if you ever ever get the chance to meet him, do it, he’s one of the sweetest people in the whole world, and amazingly interesting to talk with.

I am gonna have to agree with the previous poster about his books on audio. Even more hilarious when you listen to them.

You have to read “Naked”. It’s his first book and by FAR the best!

David Sedaris’s writing is pure genius. I’ve only read the first 2 essays of this book so far but I plan on attempting to read it all tonight.
But like other people said make sure you check out Amy Sedaris’s hospitality book if you already haven’t and definitely read some stuff by Augusten Burroughs.

That book is sooooo good. I just got done reading it. I couldn’t read the last essay “The Smoking Section” because I’m just quitting smoking and it’s too hard to read without going insane. All for the best though!

I recommend for your reading pleasure My Life on the Pink Carpet – Leslie Jordan. It’s so funny and revealing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE DAVID SEDARIS. Definitely get your hands on “Me Talk Pretty One Day”. You can also YouTube him on David Letterman doing a hilarious reading about catheters.

Also, his sister, Amy, is brilliant. She has a coffee table/recipe/hosting book called “I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence” that I cannot recommend highly enough.

I love david sedaris too. I actually prefer listening to his books on my mp3 player—they make me laugh so hard I cry on the subway. Def worth a try, he’s a great reader.
