Me Talk Pretty One Day

This book is one of the funniest things I've ever read. His perspective on being an outsider in France is fascinating and hilarious. Buy this book!

A collection of autobiographic stories of a funny David Sedaris. I like the short shorty format because it allowed me my "small dose" of humour whenever I could sneak away. Always a laugh to be had.

I keep this book on my nightstand at all times. Every essay in here is a true gem, a work of art. This collection is testament enough that David Sedaris is a true genius of American literature. Even if he's living in France. Not that he's an "ex-pat" or anything.

When David Sedaris is in top form, there is nobody funnier. I think this is his best collection of all - hardly a dud story in the bunch. The "rabbit of easter" story, detailing hilarious misunderstandings in his French class, can make me howl just remembering it.

A very funny writer, at the top of his game. The only thing funnier than reading this book is to hear Sedaris read the stories on tape.

The comparison one reviewer makes on the back cover of this book between David Sedaris and Mark Twain is not overblown. Every page of this book will have you laughing out loud. David Sedaris has an eye for the humor in the absurd situations he and his kooky family find themselves in. It's no wonder both he and his sister are famous comedians: There is enough comedy material in his immediate family alone that it sounds like David could write another twenty books just telling stories about them.
