Me Talk Pretty One Day by
Davis Sedaris
This collection of short stories and essays by David Sedaris,
is, for the most part, hilarious. He's one of those authors that seems to
remember every part of his life
perfectly, and can convey it to the reader with so much humor, that you think
"How did all this happen to this poor guy?!" My favorite of his
stories in this book are the ones about his sister, actress and author Amy
Sedaris, wanting a fat suit, and not being able to afford the whole thing, and
the one where his father wants all of his kids to play instruments and form a
family band, like "The Partridge Family". As an added bonus, this
book makes one of the best audio books, because the author reads it himself.
I give this one a B+.
If you liked this book, I suggest Naked, also by David Sedaris. You also might want to check out some
of his readings on YouTube.
