The David Sedaris Box Set from Time Warner Audiobooks Price: $50.39 Customer Review:  No one around today tells a better story or writes a better story that David Sedaris. A previous "reviewer" mentioned that David doesn't know how to read his own material, which is like saying that Don Rickles doesn't know how to deliver an insult. David Sedaris' voice and delivery IS part of his... |

David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall from Time Warner Audiobooks Price: $12.58 Customer Review: I love this cd. So much so that I've kept it in my car cd player since I received it, listening to it over and over while driving to and from work, or doing weekend errands. I'm at the point now where I don't want to listen to droning talk radio or FM stations anymore. All I want to do is listen to... |

Me Talk Pretty One Day from Back Bay Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  "Me Talk Pretty One Day" is a series of short stories about David Sedaris. His childhood, his different jobs, his family and - my favorite- when he moved to France, and tried to learn French. I love the story of his childhood, how he due to his lisp becomes a kid with an outstanding vocabulary... |

Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim from Little, Brown Price: $14.97 Customer Review: I've read half of this book and already know that I love it. It bothers me that everyone tries to label David Sedaris as a "humor writer" and then come to only expect him to churn out "humor books." Sure the books are funny, but a lot of his writing is deeper and serves a more significant purpose... |

Holidays on Ice : Stories from Back Bay Books Price: $6.26 Customer Review: David Sedaris could be one of the funniest writers of our generation. His semi-autobiographical essays make me laugh out loud. Sedaris views the world through cynical, yet witty eyes. His brutal commentary on society makes one blink and then chuckle. The Santaland Diaries is one of the 6 essays... |

Naked from Back Bay Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I had never heard of David Sedaris until a couple months back when a friend handed me her copy of this book and urged, "You have to read this!" Not being one for intense reading experiences, I was skeptical that I'd even make it beyond the first chapter. But because I favor sarcasm and cynicism... |

Barrel Fever : Stories and Essays (Barrel Fever) from Back Bay Books Price: $10.46 Customer Review: According to a blurb on the back jacket of my paperback copy of BARREL FEVER David Sedaris writes with "a satirical brazenness that holds up next to Twain and Nathaniel West". That comparison is accurate. Sedaris you see is afraid of offending no one. He writes with absolutely no regard for... |

Santaland Diaries & Seasons Greetings: 2 Plays from Dramatists Play Service Inc Price: $6.50 Customer Review:  I bought this compilation because after purchasing "Strangers With Candy" Season One on DVD, this kept showing up in my Amazon recommendations every day for over a month. I read the reviews, and decided it couldn't be that bad. It wasn't. It just wasn't that super, either. Sure, there are funny... |

The Book of Liz from Not Avail Price: $6.50 Customer Review: Being a huge "Talent Family" fan, I was excited to see that they had joined forces and written a play. I can understand that if you are used to reading David's books, this might be a different read for some individuals. I was asked by a local theatre producer to search for some new material for... |

Jenny and the Jaws of Life: Short Stories from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $9.71 Customer Review: Do not ignore this book just because you have not heard of the author. Jincy Willett is a writer of prodigious talent. In the same vein as Joseph Heller. The only tragedy is that we have not seen more from this superb author |

Barrel Fever and Other Stories from Time Warner Audiobooks Price: $15.74 Customer Review: Listen with care. This has to be the best comedy CD I ever bought. I suggest you do not listen to it in the car, for you might get pulled over and asked to blow on a breathalizer. This cd is well worth the money and more. Especially when he talks about him and Mike Tyson. :-) |

Drive-By Comedy from Highbridge Audio Price: $8.99 Customer Review:  The only funny track is the first one by Steven Colbert, the guy from The Daily Show. His sarcasm and satire is gut busting! However, the rest are a waste of time. |

The Best American Travel Writing 2002 (Best American) from Houghton Mifflin Price: $18.20 Customer Review: Although I didn't like most of the stories in this anthology, there were a few that I really, really, really loved. And they made it worth the price of the book, over and over. The introduction by Frances Mayes is a gem and really sets the tone. Especially if you were wondering why a report on... |

Je Parler Francais (French Language Edition) from J Ai Lu Editions Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Don't give the book low marks just because you didn't do your research. It's pretty obvious that the book is a French version of "Me Talk Pretty"... Je Parler Francais translates into what? If you can read/understand French, and haven't read the English version yet, you'll enjoy this book. |
