Classic David Sedaris

I love David Sedaris's audiobooks. They just can't come out fast enough for me & this one is just as entertaining and enjoyable as all the others. Now comes the wait for his next little slice of genius.

Thoughtfully funny beautifully read

I will admit to being a fan.....you will be taken on an abused ride.....by a man without a license. . TRULY a collection of EXPERIENCES. Documented by a human scratch and sniff.... with the delivery one might expect from a small child with matches . Cheers

Couldn't stop laughing

I was listening to this on an airplane, and was afraid I was disturbing others because I just couldn't stop laughing. Great fun!

Lol over and over and over!

Listening to this while driving may be dangerous as you laugh, snort and try to keep the car between the lines.

Would you consider the audio edition of David Sedaris to be better than the print version?

Yes, needs his voice inflections and pronunciations!

His dry wit is quick, fresh and unusual!
