Admittedly I don't really know who David Sedaris is other than Amy's brother. Not quite sure where this book came from, either. So I remain sort of mystified as to why I picked it up & why I read the whole thing. It's good, in that it's not bad. In fact, I exhaled sharply through my nose on several occasions. It may not contain the answers to life's mysteries but there are worse ways to spend an evening, I'm sure, than reading some loosely strung-together anecdotes.
