Wonderful and right up there with [b:Naked|46254874|Naked|David Sedaris|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1560210025l/46254874._SY75_.jpg|2086690] as my favorites by Sedaris. This collection feels extremely cohesive despite covering a wide range of topics and tackles some serious subject matter, but there is always room for absurdity and humor. Sedaris' musings on his Fitbit are deeply relatable, I liked receiving more insight about his relationship with Hugh, and his quest to have a tumor removed to feed it to a snapping turtle is downright hysterical. At this point, I don't have a preference on whether to read or listen to Sedaris' books; I cherish his uniquely amusing narration, but reading allows me to fully appreciate the beauty of his writing.
