I love listening to David Sedaris! This audiobook was funny and at times sentimental. From his thoughts about his sister's suicide to his Fitbit obsession to his gastrointestinal issues to dealing with his aging father, Sedaris has a way of storytelling that is amazing. If you have not read or listenened to David Sedaris, I highly recommend you do.

Darker than some of his other works, dealing much with death, depression, and aging, but just as beautiful and lasting. The bits about Tiffany are particularly heartbreaking.

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

I found this either boring or disturbing at times. The graphic suicide talk was ultimately what got me to stop reading
