Another hilarious collection of stories about David Sedaris' life.
This book was so funny, though a bit outdated. My favorite was the colonoscopy story, which is weird of me, but I think it was the funniest. Other than one of the stories at the end for students to read, because of how the son got his terrible mother to dress.
Narrator Rating: 3.5
The author did an okay job reading it, though his voice is kind of odd you get used to it.

A lot of these are either in the little essays at the very end or because he's being brutally honest and accurate as to how people behaved when he was growing up aka the 60s-80s. I think that's why I found the colonoscopy story the funniest because it didn't include any of these but the medical content.ashleycmms's review against another edition

Horrible. Not funny, just offensive. Don’t even bother.
