Product Description
Once again, David Sedaris brings together a collection of essays so uproariously funny and profoundly moving that his legions of fans will fall for him once more. He tests the limits of love when Hugh lances a boil from his backside, and pushes the boundaries of laziness when, finding the water shut off in his house in Normandy, he looks to the water in a vase of fresh cut flowers to fill the coffee machine. From armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds to the awkwardness of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a sleeping fellow passenger on a plane, David Sedaris uses life's most bizarre moments to reach new heights in understanding love and fear, family and strangers. Culminating in a brilliantly funny account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection will be avidly anticipated.

For my money, he's the best bittersweet comic author out there and nothing beats him reading his own work.

I read this entire book on a 12 plus hour flight to Beijing, China. Those seated around me was laughing because I was getting so much enjoyment from my book. This is possibly his best book yet.

As with all of his books, this book is filled with hilarious stories. Totally amusing. I love his work.
 When You Are Engulfed in Flames August 26, 2008
This book is just all right. It seems to be a repeat of everything else he has written.... decoratively funny, but not thought provoking.

While I have read many amusing books in the past, my response is usually an inward smile and a mental note to myself of how clever and succinct the description chosen by the author. This book however causes one to laugh out loud. A true gem!
