Author: David Sedaris
I'm about halfway done with this novel and I am really enjoying it! As I said in my last blog post, this book is a collection of narratives/essays about ordinary topics and events in the authors life. Going into this book, I didn't really know what to expect, as I had never read anything like this before, but I am pleasantly surprised! I was reading the reviews on the back and one of them really captured how I feel reading this book:
"Quintessential Sedaris... Essays on everything from air travel to today's child-rearing techniques by a writer who's a master of pointing out the absurd in everyday life." -Craig Wilson, USA Today.
One reason I am really loving this read is because Mr. Sedaris is able to make mundane, everyday things comical and entertaining. He teaches his readers to appreciate the little things in life, and to pay closer attention to the world around them. I have discovered that there is a different theme in each chapter, as each chapter tells a different story. I like this because the reader can take away a countless number of lessons from this book and always finishes a chapter with a different thing to think about.
I like how it makes the reader think. Its not like some books that blurt out the secret meaning
