Title: Funny, But....
Review: David Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day is a very amusing collection of essays that I enjoyed, so long as I read them one or two at a time. I personally found, after reading more than that, that Sedaris's narcissism started getting on my nerves. That being said, these essays are very amusing, some more than others of course. A good portion of them concern his move to France, although many focus on his family. Sedaris story telling style relies heavily on the humorous exaggeration, and for the most part it works. Again though, after too many essays, it may grate on your nerves. This book is a fun read, definitely nontaxing (for instance, I was easily able to read these essays in a moving car (I wasn't driving)). Enjoy.
