I bought David Sedaris's new book on cd, "When You Are Engulfed In Flames"

This is a Christmas present to myself, I am enjoying to the cds.

I need to listen to David Sedaris, reading his books are not the same.

[applegrove]

1. His books are hilarious. Never heard his CDs.

[texanwitch]

2. I have his books but I rather have the cd's.

Do you listen to This American Life on the radio, David Sedaris reads some of his works on the program.

I have found this neat store a few years ago that sells books and cds for 70 percent off.

There was a collection of David's books on cds's really cheap.

I love to listen to him.

3. Ever seen his sister Amy on Letterman? Now that is funny.

4. She is funny.

Both of them came from a interesting family.

5. Oh, that's a good one.

He always makes me laugh.

I used to listen to his CD's during my commute. One time I was laughing so hard I almost drove into the ditch.

Have an autographed copy of "Me Talk Pretty One Day". He signed it before a "concert". I'd go see/listen him any time.

Happy reading!

:hug:

6. I'm reading it, I wish I had gotten the CD from the library instead

I can only imagine how much better it would be. Have heard him on the radio and I bet he brings a lot of vocal nuance to the readings.

7. Sedaris holiday tradition from NPR

I never tire of this piece.

10. That's piece is so wonderfully horrible!

"I could have you fired."

"I could have you killed."

:rofl:

[Callalily]

11. I know, I laugh at that every

time. I encourage you to get the CD "Holiday on Ice", either as a purchase or from the library. These excepts came from there.

The bit that still cracks me up, brings tears to my eyes is when he's singing "Away in a Manger" in the style of Billy Holiday. It's a longer piece on the CD (book). Utterly hilarious.

12. I friend gave me 'Barrel Fever' a bunch of years ago

I couldn't quite get the hang of it until I got the knack for sort of reading it in Sedaris' voice. After that, it was magical.

8. Yeah, I'm a fan

Doing SantaLand Diaries on stage.

9. I just finished reading that

Pissed myself laughing.
