I did finally got around to reading Me Talk Pretty One Day, and I almost choked I was laughing so hard. (I could barely keep my Appletini down and I almost spewed it all over my Kate Spade bag.) Just thinking about some of the stories makes my eyes water. I read it during my vacation and other passengers on the plane kept looking back at me with looks of either concern or annoyance -- apparently they thought I was crying. Naked was not as uproarious. I plan to buy his and Amy's other books, but wouldn't mind a capsule review from the other Sedaris fans on the board. Having heard Sedaris on NPR a couple of times, I would like to buy his books on tape.

Holidays on Ice, although it might be more of a compilations of holiday stories that appeared elsewhere first, is great. The one about working as an elf at Macy is my single favorite of his stories, and also includes a great Amy cameo, where she teaches him some sign language.
