David Sedaris

Does anyone else here like David Sedaris? I don't really know much about him (well apart from what's in his books!) I picked up Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim randomly in a 2nd hand bookshop, mainly because I liked the title. I'm reading Me Talk Pretty One Day at the moment and just read the chapter on his creative writing class, very funny.
I really can't read fiction anymore, I'm addcited to biographical writing, must be cos I'm such a nosy person

I'm a big fan as well. I actually got a chance to see him do a reading in person a few months ago which was a huge thrill. The best part was the Q and A after the reading. Mainly because the questions asked were so dumb and his responses were classic. Fan- "What's Amy doing? We love Amy!" David "What's Amy doing RIGHT NOW? How should I know?"
He also talked about how his publishing company wants him to write a full on novel (not short stories) and he doesn't think his natural writing style will ever allow him to.

Yup. He's great. I've read Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim, Barrel Fever, and Me Talk Pretty One Day.

i read 'naked' and i liked it a lot. i tried reading 'dress your family in courdeory and demin' after that, but never really got around to finishing it. i feel it's kinda like you've read one, you've read them all. but all the same, he's pretty fucking funny.

I love him. I've only read dress your family in courderoy & denim & me talk pretty one day, but they were fantastic.

Though, I looked like a bit of a spazz, laughing at a book on the train, several times.

He's one of my favorite people around. I definately prefer his short memoirs to his fiction, though. Naked made me laugh & cry on a plane to Arizona a few years ago. I get emotional.

I'm reading Dress your family in Corduroy and Denim at the moment...it's brilliant, really funny. He reminds me of Augusten Burroughs a bit (who I also love) I'll have to read some other stuff he's written.

i cannot read his books in public
i am far too embarrassed by the amount of laughing they bring


try to get his books on tape.
he actually reads them.
thats where the fun really begins.

wysteria, your avatar makes me so hungry. That looks like oshinko & I want it.

There are a few gems on youtube, like the one matrixfrk3 posted. I could spend hours searching and listening. Well, I have spent hours searching and listening.
