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.

Barrel Fever was not one of my favorites, and it had some of the same stories from Holidays on Ice (which I liked better.) I can't remember the name of the book that is basically a collection of stories about his childhood. I thought it was outstanding. There is one story that talks about the death of his mother that [literally] I was laughing hysterically on one page, and crying (not because of laughing) on the next. I can't remember which book that was, though.
Me Talk Pretty was hilarious. I loved the half about his being in Normandy. Absolutely hilarious.
