Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris

4.0

---

Another night of the public television fund drive that bounces regular programming, another night with a book. I'm not complaining. Reading is a tremendous joy for me. And, the fact that I am studying for my doctorate means my personal reading time is very limited. Thus, last night was a win-win situation. Public television got to raise much needed funding and I got to have the grand experience of uninterrupted personal reading time. I don't think I could have asked for better bookish company than essayist David Sedaris. His dark, satirical social commentary and autobiographical hijinks got me right into holiday spirits. I'm talking about booze. To survive the holidays it's best to start drinking now and not sober up until January 3rd. Trust me. Go stock up now on wine and books, and settle in under a blanket. Make certain this is one of the books you stock (you'll thank me for the recommendation). I'll send up a flare when it's all clear.
