If you like David Sedaris.....
you'll love this one! Typical DS essays about his everyday life (Hah!), his quirky friends, etc., told in his usual dry style, with just a twist of snide.

If you like David Sedaris' other work, this one won't disappoint. He just get's funnier and more relate-able with age. Will read it again.

Flaming Success
David Sedaris just gets better with age, like a fine French wine I am sure he can't pronounce! This collection contains my favorite story about spiders, another about creepy presents and of course the tale of quitting smoking in Japan. Only Sedaris would pick a smoker's paradise in which to quit.
