- About: Only two words are necessary to draw you to this amazing little book: David Sedaris. If you don’t understand what that means, I assign you the following homework: Find one of his stories; even an excerpt will do (see below). Read it. Be converted. Come back here and thank me.
- Motivation: Hello, it’s David Sedaris. Although I have a mad, fangirl’s love for his sister Amy, I’ll never turn down the chance to read his stories. Neither should you.

- Random Excerpt/Page 50: “I recall mistaking her for a Trick-or-Treater! She wore, I remember, a skirt the size of a beer cozy, a short, furry jacket, and, on her face, enough rouge, eye shadow, and lipstick to paint our entire house, inside and out. She’s a very small person and I mistook her for a child. A child masquerading as a prostitute. I handed her a fistful of chocolate nougats, hoping that, like the other children, she would quickly move on to the next house.”
