When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris
5.0
I received this book as a Christmas gift.
Obviously, the person who gave me this book loves me more than any other person I've ever met in my whole life.
My daughter, Thing 2, took the book away from me one noontime. I was reading it while eating lunch, and she was afraid I would choke to death because I was laughing so hard.
Not every essay is a laugh riot. Some are small and quiet and thought-provoking.
This book left me feeling as though I must rush out and immediately read everything of his that I haven't already consumed.
