Me talk pretty one day

I'm a bit disappointed. This is the first Sedaris book I've read, and I guess I expected it to be non-stop chuckles and laughter, but it's definitely not. While I did laugh out loud a few times and generally enjoyed the book, particularly his essays about France, it was a bit of an average take on experiences that lots of people have. That said, Sedaris's father might be the most interestingly endearing and offensive character throughout the stories. When Sedaris reveals the real reason he was kicked out of his father's house in his early 20s, I was a bit heartbroken. There were so many good, rational, and valid reasons to kick him out, but the real reason killed me.

mildly amusing, an interesting way to spend a few hours...
