Book: Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls
Author: David Sedaris

     I have recently began reading this novel and it is unlike anything I have ever read before. This book is a collection of short narratives by Mr. David Sedaris. This is a perfect book for me to be reading right now because it ties in well with our narrative unit, and I can use the styles of this author to help make my narrative more interesting.
   
     The structure of this book is very interesting. Each chapter is a different narrative, and each one doesn't relate to the previous in any aspect. For example, by just looking at the Table of Contents, you see that the first five chapters are the following:

•  "Dentists Without Borders"
•  "Attaboy"
•  "Think Differenter"
•  "Memory Laps"
•  "A Friend in the Ghetto"

    I am very curious to see what kind of plot structure this book will have, or if it will even have a plot structure at all. So far, the book has been very humorous and I have really been enjoying this read. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
