I'm ordering this immediatly. I went to a reading he had in Pittsburgh and I was laughing/crying. I love his writing and vocal presentation of his material.

If you own only one thing by David Sedaris, it should be this. Better than any therapist, comedy show, book, bottle of booze, baggy of weed, or overpriced dinner.

Fantastic audio collection, in heavy rotation in my car's CD player.

I've never listened/read anything by David Sedaris before. I had seen him on some talk shows and friends had told me he was funny. I had a trip coming up that was going to equal about 20-22 hours in the car, so I thought this would be good for that trip...
It started out okay, when he was talking about his life and family. I honestly don't know how much of that was true and how much was made up, but even if it wasn't laugh out loud funny very often, it was at least enjoyable. Then we got to the definitely made up stories. Stories like him dating Mike Tyson and he lost me. I skipped over a couple stories but realized this was too difficult to do while driving since I usually had to press the skip button a few times, and too many of these stories were boring as hell and needed to be skipped. So, after getting about 2.5 hours in to this I shut it off and never looked back.

I think I enjoy listening to Sedaris more than I like reading him. Either way is good, but this is just an added dimension of good.

As if here weren't hilarious just on the written page, his voice makes his books even funnier. I love David Sedaris!

this isn't a book! the only thing that beats reading a david sedaris story is david sedaris reading his own story.
