Welcome and Congratulations!
You've not only found a book, but also a wonderful community of readers and book lovers who think our books should be "out there," not gathering dust on our shelves. We register our books at BookCrossing.com so we can keep up with where they go, who reads them, and what people think of them. We release books "into the wild," trade books, and discuss all things bookish on our forums.

If you like the BookCrossing concept, you might want to register a screen name (no one is ever given your e-mail address), so that you can keep up with this book, and maybe release others. Or you can journal this book as Anonymous Finder. It's all perfectly safe, confidential, fascinating, and fun. If you do join, please tell the BookCrossing powers that be, that MarysGirl sent you their way.

This book is now yours to do with as you wish, but I hope choose to pass it on.

Thanks and Happy “Crossings!”
MarysGirl

Hardback with dust jacket. My lovely sister hopiej passed this on to me before she could register it. Thanks, Sis!

From the jacket:

"David Sedaris has written yet another book of essays (his sixth). Subjects include a parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law's leg, an encounter with a dingo, and the recreational use of an external catheter. Also reccounted is the buying of a human skeleton and the author's attempt to quiet smoking. In Tokyo."

I've read all of Sedaris' books and this is one of the best. Many laugh-out-loud moments.

This going to libby2 in a trade. Enjoy!

I was happy to find this popular book in Monday's mail. Thanks MarysGirl for passing this on - I promise to journal again after reading and will then send it back out into the world so it can continue on it's journey!
