Barrel Fever
by David Sedaris
DNF. I've read and enjoyed other things Sedaris has written, but this collection felt lazy and repetitive. The voices of the narrators in the stories were all painfully similar. I say painfully because I really didn't care for that voice (over-the-top, self-important, and self-deluded). I skipped forward to the essays only to be disappointed in those as well. They lacked the depth and insight I've found in his other works. I dreaded the thought of continuing to read this collection, so I decided this was a great time to add Barrel Fever to my DNF shelf.
