Dress Your Family in Corduroy & Denim
David Sedaris

Little, Brown & Company, 2004

Excellent! Highly recommended!
This book stood out on the shelf. At the time i purchased it i knew nothing of David's works and boy was I in for a surprise! Reading David's collections is one of those guilty pleasures you just cant describe to people. This book is by far one of my all time ...
  
  











  



  
Naked
David Sedaris

Back Bay Books, 1998

The God of Essays
David Sedaris is the God of Essays. He is the most observant writer on the planet. His work is smart AND funny. I can't get enough of his dry wit.
  
  











  



  
Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays
David Sedaris

Back Bay Books, 1995

I love this book
So I feel compelled to write a review. This book is absurd. It is perverse. It sometimes is uncomfortable to read. I didn't love it the first time I read it and it has grown on me like a fungus. I certainly understand why lots and lots of people don't like it but ...
  
  











  



  
Holidays on Ice: Stories
David Sedaris

Back Bay Books, 1998

Me Talk Pretty One Day
David Sedaris

Back Bay Books, 2001

Very funny
The stories of his life are so bizarre and dysfunctional without being appologetic or critical of anyone. He uses excellent word choice to paint a hilarious and vivid picture of his family and childhood.
  
  











  



  
When You Are Engulfed in Flames
David Sedaris

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

"David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art," ( The Christian Science Monitor ) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this remarkable new book. Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of ...
  
  











  



  
I Am America (And So Can You!)
Stephen Colbert

Hachette Audio, 2007

Should Be Required Collegiate Reading
Nearly every SENTENCE in this book is funny-genius. It's mind-boggling how smart and hilarious it is. It almost wore me out. Since I take books everywhere, and read everywhere, I found myself laughing everywhere, and sometimes inappropriately. However, it was worth it, ...
  
  











  



  
The Book of Liz
David Sedaris, Amy Sedaris

Not Avail, 2002

A Quick Chuckle
Another Sedaris chuckle fest. This short script is a view into his twisted mind.
  
  











  



  
When You Are Engulfed in Flames

Hachette Audio, 2008

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 ...
  
  











  



  
David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall
David Sedaris

Time Warner Audio Books, 2003

Sedaris--A Laugh a Minute
Want to listen to something hilarious? If you're a fan of Public Radio, you have probably heard David Sedaris reading his stories. Or perhaps read them in "The New Yorker", "Esquire", or in his books. He's a very funny, irreverent, whimsical gay man and devastating ...
  
  











  



  
Barrel Fever and Other Stories

Hachette Audio, 2001

An Exception to the Rule
As a general rule, I avoid audio books. The actual texts are cheaper, and I find that I get a fuller experience of the book when I read it myself. David Sedaris is the exception to that rule. Don't get me wrong; I love reading his work. I've read everything I can ...
  
  











  



  
Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim
David Sedaris

Back Bay Books, 2005

Lovin' Sedaris
This was the first David Sedaris book I ever read. After reading this book I bought and read three other books of his. This one has turned out to be my most favorite. Once you start reading you won't want to put down. Sedaris will have you laughing over and over ...
  
  











  



  
Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules

Simon & Schuster, 2005

An Incredibly Pleasant Surprise
Like some others that reviewed the book, I hastily ordered it and failed to realize that the collection was simply edited and introduced by Mr. Sedaris, not written by him. But I decided to read the book despite my mistake, and I was rewarded instantly. From the ...
  
  











  



  
Jenny and the Jaws of Life: Short Stories
Jincy Willett

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002

Sedaris loves it, but this is not like his work at all
My favorite short story writers are Alice Munro, Lorrie Moore, Amy Bloom and Flannery O'Connor, if that helps you place my taste on the spectrum of what's out there. People looking for the comedy of bleak sarcasm, the kind that leaves you wincing as you laugh (Sedaris, ...
