Thanks bethieb, have a few more rings to read before this one but shouldn't take me long - working seems to make me want to spend more time reading!! :)
3rd Jan 2006: Despite wanting to read until my eyeballs dry up it seems this isn't possible... I enjoyed this book but it wasn't all ultra-amusing, although there were some stories that got me snickering out loud, which is always quite an achievement with me. One of which was Naked, a great little tale. This is ready to be sent to Breeze144 once I have her address.

Sent to next BCer, should be there beginning of the week :)
I am a big Sedaris fan and I love his witty dry humour. This book really got me wondering about his fanily though. He talks about them in every book I've read, but this one seems to go into a lot of personal detail. I'd kill my brother if he wrote a book and said things like this about me!
This great book will be on its way eary next week!

thank you for sending the book on to me. i hope i won't take to long...
so i'll have to pass this book on unread. thank you for sharing anyway...
In a way it reminded me of Running with scissors (which is the really horrible story of a young boy growing up in a completely disfunctional family). Sedaris' family is not that disfunctional (or at least, not that obviously so), but you couldn't quite call them normal either.
The real weird thing for me is the implicit racism and discrimation of gays in the book. I'm not quite sure when it's (mostly) set, but I'll happily accept that it's a few decades ago and that things have changed (in some places anyway). But still, it's strange to read about such open making fun of gay people etc.; it's just something that's completely impossible now!
Even if it wasn't as laugh-out-loud funny as I expected it to be (and certainly less so than the one recording of Sedaris I heard; maybe it helps when you hear his voice...), I did enjoy the book. While I won't go out of my way to look for them, I wouldn't mind reading any of his other books.
Thanks for sharing this with me, bethieb! I'll try and find a nice spot to leave this sometime (if only there was a nudists' colony anywhere near...)
