If David Sedaris is ever paying attention to you, be wary. Who knows what is going on inside that guys head. What an imaginative, crazy outlook on people and life. Hilarious!

I love David’s unbridled sense of storytelling. The way he fantasizes and the makeup of his family. It is the epitome of humanity.

Quirky reading experience and I’m here for it!

Some essays were dull but still worthy of a read.
