I have been wanting to read this book ever since I saw the cover, which is a photo of one of my favorite Van Gogh paintings I saw at the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena. Having heard nothing of David Sedaris, I was interested.
A client was holding it, and I asked him if it was any good. He says "it's okay". So I postponed reading it. I don't usually read for entertainment. I have a playground of my own, so I rarely play in the sandbox of another. I read to learn, and somehow that makes me feel superior.
I wanted to pass some time at work, being slow and all, so I borrowed this book from my friend and I cannot stop turning the pages (except to give it a shout out on my blog). It's hilarious and makes me bark out in laughter. It reminds me of my own cynical sense of humor, the humor that comes from a fixed observation of human behavior. Truth is funny.
