Who else loves David Sedaris!!

[bicentennial_baby]

:bounce:

I'm listening to him Live at Carnegie Hall, right now...Me Talk Pretty One Day got me through my trip to Paris in audiobook form...

:rofl:

[Inchworm]

1. Thanks!

He is on a list I have but forgot about. I think I'll drive 100 freakin miles tomorrow and get one of his books.

:hi:

[Pendrench]

2. Absolutely - one of my favorites!

In addition to "Me Talk Pretty One Day", I have copies of "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" and "HOlidays on Ice".

Very funny!

3. I haven't read any of his stuff yet, but "Naked" is staring at me from the top of...

...my "to be read" pile, so it's next on my list. I can't wait!

[likesmountains 52]

4. Me! I was reading one of his books when I was in physical therapy a few years ago..

I was just laughing out loud on the treatment table...other people were staring at me wondering what could be so funny

[graywarrior]

5. He is the funniest writer ever.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. He is...

Freaking Masshole approved hilarious!

:patriot:

[stuntcat]

6. Hells Yeah!

I was so sad last week because he was speaking in my town on Saturday but I had to fly down to NC on Friday so I couldn't go :cry: and I was whining to a friend online about missing my one chance but he said I might get a chance again and maybe I will. I would have been a little cooler if I'd got to go see him though. I love all his books and spoken stuff, now just the sound of his voice makes me start laughing.

7. He is so funny that his story "Parade" made a friend laugh out loud

on the bus home the same day she was diagnosed with MS.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. That is teh awesomeness...He made my Momma laugh the day she

was diagnosed with ALS...no lie. :hug:

[MysticalChicken]

8. He's a genius.

I have three of his books: Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (the last of which is the funniest IMHO.

"They call him Jesus and he die one day on two... morsels of... lumber," will always make me break into fits of giggles.

11. He's a riot. So is Amy.

12. J'adore Amy Sedaris...

Oui, oui... :D

[taterguy]

17. Saw Amy live in person a month ago

She was hysterical. Here's a crappy pic

[booksenkatz]

13. He was here at our local theatre last night

I had been toying with whether or not to splurge on a ticket for myself. Such indulgences for myself aren't exactly in our budget. Then I had a very good week with my business and figured, hey, I can afford a ticket after all! Called them up and learned they were sold out. My heart is still aching over it! Sedaris is one of the few authors who can make me laugh until I cry, from the sheer written word. I had been fantasizing about having him sign my copy of "Naked" or perhaps "Holidays on Ice." Now it will never happen.
:cry:

What a fantastic talent!

[Wheezy]

14. Love him! Saw him in Tucson a couple years ago.

He is a big favorite of mine.

[Arugula Latte]

15. I love him. He has such an uncanny talent for having strange encounters with weird people

and then turning it into the funniest thing you've ever read.

[hisownpetard]

16. Live at Carnegie Hall is my favorite of all his stuff. Great to listen to while driving,

if you have tinted windows.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Never laughed harder at a book....

Than when I read the title essay to Me Talk Pretty One Day. I've got my sister to thank to getting me on to reading Sedaris.

And sister Amy, to boot. Loved, loved, loved "Strangers With Candy" on Comedy Central. For all you Steven Colbert fans out there who haven't seen that show yet, you don't know Noblet!

[Orsino]

19. Terrific stuff. I've got all his books...

...but my brother and SIL got to see him live last week.

[Connonym]

20. Me, me, me But I think I now officially love Amy more

I'd love to get invited to one of their family dinners.

[MrCoffee]

21. his audiobooks have nearly gotten me killed countless times while driving

so friggin' funny i almost ran off the road.

[applegrove]

22. He is great!
