Fun. Silly. Wacky. So I have heard David Sedaris on the radio and even seen him in person at a book reading, but this is the first time I actually delved into one of his written works. I did wish I could have heard him actually reading the stories with his particular stresses and pauses, but overall it was a quick and enjoyable read.
I particularly enjoyed some of his descriptions about goofy and odd things that his family members would do. They were great! Also, I could completely relate to his language learning pieces. As a native English speaker, I completely agree that the notion of nouns having genders is strange and sometimes annoying and difficult to make any sense of in the greater scheme of things.
I also liked how the book was written as a series of connected vignettes.

4.5. Haven't laughed this hard at a book in awhile. A couple of the essays were a bit pretentious, hence the half-star deduction.
