I’m just so incredibly bored and David Sedaris reminds me of a guy who thinks every dinner party is his time to shine.

Things I liked:
- Honestly another brilliant one by Sedaris. I especially loved part Deux, recounting different stories from his time living in Paris.
- The essays are very short so this is a great quick read that can be picked up even when you've only got a few minutes to spare.
Things I disliked:
- As with any collection, there's always going to be a few essays/stories that don't appeal.
3.5! but rounding down. many a funny essay; I have laughed out loud while reading this in public, but some felt tedious and not as interesting

读完Calypso再来读这本书，没有了对于结构上的惊喜，习惯了每一篇essay都是描述一件琐事，也有可能是这本书时间线上更明确。书评看到描述“droll”，感觉蛮符合我对作者文笔的印象。和Calypso一样，并没有使我开怀大笑，更多的是觉得作者的想象力丰富，对于日常的琐事的描写和角度比较吸引我。
看了一些goodreads的评论，确实因为essay的原因，有一些主题没有那么对我的胃口， 但也不可否认，也有故事依然能够投射我的情感。
