Title: David Sedaris is...
Post by: primushead on Sep 12, 2008, 10:25 PM
...fucking incredible.

I've killed "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" and "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" in about 2 days.

Anyone else a fan?  One of the best authors out there.

Are you kidding me?  I LOVE David Sedaris!

I'm holding tickets for Oct. 31st at the Schnitz in Portland-that shit sells out months in advance; can't hardly wait!  This will be my 3rd time seeing him read.  He's so fantastic.

D'accord? ;D

PS: GGG, you must read "Me Talk Pretty".  Go. Now.  Do it.

I've got tickets to see him in April in Greenville SC.  Way too excited.

And, yes, I will go get Me Talk Pretty One Day.

just finished "engulfed in flames" today!

i love his writing.  something i noticed in "dress your family...":  his writing is always funny but he's developed this talent for ending his stories with an understated emotional wallop.

*am now wondering if i've waited too long to get tix to see him at UCLA next spring...last time i went i did get the tix about 5 mos. in advance...*

"the number one reason not to blow a horse in your bedroom..."   ;D
