Summary: My kind of humor
Comment: I just discovered David Sedaris on NPR. I was intrigued by his show, so I researched him and found that he has written several books. I picked up the most recent, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and read it within two days. His dry wit and sarcasm made me laugh out loud. While most of the essays are very funny, there are a few that aren't as entertaining. All in all, it's a great read for anyone who can see humor in the most disturbing scenarios.

Summary: better, actually
Comment: I liked Barrel Fever when it came out; I was lukewarm about Sedaris' subsequent books, but this one is really very funny and much more subtle. I might even say I like it the best.

Summary: LOL
Comment: I was calling friends to read them excerpts from this book, only I was laughing so hard usually they couldn't understand me! I immediately bought tickets to Sedaris's next reading!
