Title: Howlingly funny...just the thing to take to the dr.'s office
Review: I was first introduced to the writing of David Sedaris in a Literary Nonfiction class. The excerpt we read was the one from which the title of this book is taken, "Me Talk Pretty One Day." I thought it was pretty funny and bought the book. Well, it is a lot funnier than that. The funniest parts of this book deal with his various looney family members, and Sedaris' deadpan style reminds me of Dave Barry with an edge. I took this book to read in the doctor's office while my husband had his colonoscopy and I think the people in the waiting room thought I was certifiable...Several times I had to wipe the tears from my eyes. Highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great comic read.
