He's delightful :-) I've read all of his books and saw him at the Bardavon last Fall. He signed my book and drew an owl with a screwdriver in its head. Also, I feel it relevant to share that he was wearing culottes. <3
If you haven't yet, read Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. Or Me Talk Pretty One Day.
(Or...well, anything else, really. I love them all.)
I plan on starting Beautiful You by Chuck Palahniuk this afternoon. I'm excited but apprehensive! I'm a huge fan of his as well and this book has had some seriously mixed reviews. I have high hopes but we'll see where it goes.

--- Quote from: explicit on 07 Jan 2015, 18:25 ---I picked up Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris at the airport. It looked interesting, and was clearly a national bestseller if it was in the little airport bookstore (and I guess it does say national bestseller on the title page... huh look at that). It's in short story format and is a quick read. I like the humor and the occasional amount of absurdity. Literally bought it on a whim and had no idea what it was about, so I'm pleasantly surprised.

I picked that up based solely on the title. Okay read. I figured out later that the author is a semi-regular on This American Life whom I enjoy. The more you know.
Currently reading: Worst. Person. Ever.

I am reading a biography about Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
"Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy."
very interesting and in depth about the fight for Germany's soul prior to & during WW2.

Mein Kampf? Or did you get Margaret Thatcher's biography?

Douglas Coupland. His books are cocaine to me. (Though this wasn't his best.)
Currently reading ... The fault in our stars. I feel so ... YA.
