Naked by David Sedaris
4.0
(4.5/5★)
Apparently, David Sedaris' humor is hit-or-miss for a lot of readers. Some people just don't appreciate the darker, pessimistic undertones that permeate his work, but personally, I love them. Naked, like most of his works, is a series of essays chronicling different points of Sedaris' life in a brutally honest and hilarious fashion. While some stories seem a little exaggerated, they definitely don't feel fabricated out of thin air, as they are often relatable in a weird sense - not so much the situations he finds himself in, but the way he handles them. While this is a great book to pick up and put down at your leisure due to how each story can essentially be read on it's own, I tore through this book fairly quickly as it's amusing to see how he can top one ridiculous story after another.
