David Sedaris

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I've loved his books until I read Dress your family in corduroy and denim. In that one, he kind of veered away from me somehow. His stories are all about absolute empathy, so if you don't feel for him, you won't get it. Me Talk Pretty is so great - but I just love people's stories about their childhoods.

I believe during the live show we saw, he read out some unpublished journaling he'd done during his tour. That was pretty neat.
