"I read every single thing that David Sedaris writes. I will go see him speak, I will listen to him on the radio, I find him to be absolutely fascinating and absolutely hilarious. It's very similar to his other books in that it's a series of brief stories. It's short stories basically, short essays; and he just chooses kind of the weirdest, most bizarre topics and throws them in there. A lot of it is about his family. His family provides him with a great amount of fodder for stories. There are some times that I wish he would flesh his story out a little bit more, where a few stories are about a specific incident and run only a few pages; and I like him so much and he is so -- he's so intriguing and really pulls you into the story that if it ends kind of abruptly, I think well, I wanted to know more about that. This author is just absolutely hysterically funny, and his descriptions are unbelievable. You just think, "Is this person real? Is he embellishing? I'd love to meet these people." I absolutely believe that you have to have an open mind to read David Sedaris. I rate each and every one of his books a five. A five star. He is someone who, when his book comes out, I run out and get it; and I am someone who does not buy hardbacks."
