"Once again, David Sedaris brings together a collection of essays so uproariously funny and profoundly moving that his legions of fans will fall for him once more. He tests the limits of love when Hugh lances a boil from his backside, and pushes the boundaries of laziness when, finding the water shut off in his house in Normandy, he looks to the water in a vase of fresh cut flowers to fill the coffee machine. From armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds to the awkwardness of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a sleeping fellow passenger on a plane, David Sedaris uses life's most bizarre moments to reach new heights in understanding love and fear, family and strangers. Culminating in a brilliantly funny (and never before published) account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection will be avidly anticipated."

Part of the enjoyment of reading David Sedaris is *listening* to David Sedaris. Like most of his books, this is a compilation of essays on various topics. And like most of his books, it's a mix of really good and just so-so. But I enjoyed it. I felt like in this compilation, he's matured a little more and you can see that in his writing.

Sending off to PBS member. Enjoy! :')
