David Sedaris' diary entries If you want to listen to something hysterical for 23 minutes, this is worth it just for a fascinating look into heretofore unknown aspects of poop culture, at least to me.
I know, and nothing makes me laugh any more.
I'm out of podcasts and have been using the Sedaris family as a substitute but I think I may have finally exhausted the internet.
I may actually have to read the book I'm avoiding reading because I enjoy it so much I want it to last.
I really enjoy his books, I've read three so far (though Naked was a little unsettling) and I enjoy his quirkiness and skills at making the mundane fun.
You know, I kinda feel I've reached the end of the internet, too. And I stopped reading his stuff back with "Talk Pretty." Time to catch up, I guess. OOO, maybe he read his books onto tape? I'll search for that.
Oh wait, before I go, here is my favorite Sedaris story: Big Boy from November '99 Esquire.
I heard him read this on his first tour stop in NH in 2000. About 1,000 people laughing too hard to breath is a sight to be held.
