Oh and yeah David Sedaris..

[woofmarkthedog]

Whilst on the enforced sabbatical I read far more David Sedaris than usual

This was a near perfect solution, here he reads an extract from one of his books (I'm on my third )

And what with the ******mas lights going on today also very topical

Lah lah...

W**F

Duh, calm down ...

Um, I thought Me Talk Pretty One Day was a load of pretentious wank, p;raps I need to try again as loads of people think he's good.

[huncamunca]

one of the best writers on the planet at the minute when hes on form

I suggest you read Barrel fever to see what I mean

Hmmm maybe ! but a Quality load of pretentious @#$%& , though after the exhausting experience of reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" a tip toe around a David Sedaris is a most delightful mind garden of banality.

"Dress your family in corduroy & denim" is better than MTPOD in MHO

W**F

I love David Sedaris....and was quite a fan of both me talk pretty one day and dress your family....

But I hated Barrel Fever with a passion...it lacked the realism and sincerity of his other work - I just felt it went for cheap dirty laughs (that's the one where he has a fantasy about dating Mike Tyson right?).

[huncamunca]

yes, the mike tyson one

Dons story still has me chuckling away on the 21st read

If you can get inside the head of a dope smoking layabout who does nothing but watch US TV and read the national enquirer to fill in his long days, then its makes sense. Theres lots of US celeb references that ideally would require a bit of background knowledge to appreciate but may mean nothing to some

innit

I have a pair of tickets to a BBC recording session of David Sedaris this Sunday at 6.45pm.

I can't make it. Would anyone like to go?
