David Sedaris

I have re-listened to two of his books over the last couple of weeks.  I chose ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY (because my sister had never heard him before and I thought this would be the way to introduce him to her) and DRESS YOUR FAMILY IN CORDUROY AND DENIM because of the story about his brother (which first time hearing it caused me to drive off the road).  I have been fortunate to see him THREE times live.  I highly recommend!  The latest was here in Spokane!  I have read and listened to all of his books at least once...and I find myself recommending his books to people.  He is dark...he has a dark sense of humor and often people may find it disturbing.  I LOVE it!  He also has a way of telling stories about his family and relationships that makes you think he could be talking about someone you know.   I am waiting anxiously for the release of his new book in October of this year...although he said it may not be him reading the audio...and he is the reason that often you find yourself avoiding the edge of the road while laughing so hard you are crying.  It was asked in one of the more recent concerts I attended if any of his material is suitable for children...IT IS NOT!  He writes for adults.  And for those adults who have child's ears...this isn't for you either!  For the rest of you dark and twisted souls...this is an author you need to pick up and LISTEN to...it is his delivery that makes you laugh!  Although reading his stuff yourself is also funny!
