    Thank you. Can you imagine how long she must have had to hold that pose? Exhausting!

    What a great description of Sedaris and his new book! I too really enjoyed it ~ and I love how you describe his writing, as both self-loathing and misanthropic. I was also amused that he decided to quit smoking because he was increasingly becoming person non grata at all of his favorite places -- fancy hotels, restaurants and how he described Europe's belated but nonetheless enthusiastic embracing of nonsmoking in public places as the falling of dominoes (love the Cold War reference!) He never does mention quitting to get healthier ~ just how declasse it had become everywhere --- and how he seemed almost stunned at this very surprising turn of events! Very funny ~

    Been enjoying Bird by Bird. Thanks for the recommendation! That's how I am going to spend my summer vacation...bird by bird!!
    Yes saw the new Sedaris book out. I'm gonna check itunes to see if I can get his audio version -- I like his sardonic reading aloud!

    Thanks for the great reviews! I was over at Barnes & Noble this afternoon, so browsed through Anne Lamotte's books...picked up Bird by Bird and I'm looking forward to digging in!

    Did you read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao yet? That's next on my list. And what's your take on Sherman Alexie and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian?!

    I wish I had the time to read as many books as you have read! Summer is here at last, so I'll start working my way through some of your recommendations. :) ...that is, after I finish the two that I'm currently reading!

    oh nooooo..... way too many books, way too little time. Just found "Freddy and Fredericka" at Goodwill and I'm enjoying it. I'm also reading the "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" quadrilogy (sp?) by Tad Williams - the author of "Tailchaser's Song".

    Hi Sassy Librarian. I enjoyed reading through your reviews. In fact, I featured one of them on our blog: http://shelfari.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/06/the-pale-blue-eye.html. Thanks! -Amanda
