Naked

by David Sedaris

Hip radio comedy fans and theater folks who belong to the cult of Obie-winning playwright/performer David Sedaris must kill to get this book.

How can you not LOVE David Sadaris? I read this book while I was on a trip in Alaska, and was literally laughing out loud. I tried to read some of the funier passages to my husband - but he just didn't "get it". Reading about all the dysfunctional people in Sedaris' head is just a hysterical journey. Too bad his sister doesn't have the same caliber. Her "I Like You" had some funny moments, but not many.

Let me start this off by saying that I LOVE Sedaris, but for some reason, this book just didn't hold my interest the way his others have. So, if you didn't like this one, PICK UP ANOTHER of his, before you decide to cast him off. I've laughed more at his writings than any other author around.

    I am a little more than halfway through this book and I love it! This is my first Sedaris book and I am so glad it lives up to the hype. =] I adore a book that makes me laugh out loud.
