I read Me Talk Pretty One Day earlier this year, and loved parts of it (esp the first half about his childhood), but I love listening to him on Radio 4 even more - he's on at the moment.Annabel (gaskella)http://gaskella.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-81774008967776812262013-12-17T07:44:27.382+00:002013-12-17T07:44:27.382+00:00I adore David Sedaris!

I've heard him read live and, like Geranium Cat, try to catch him on Radio 4 - his piece on getting a colonoscopy is brilliant.<br /><br />Holidays on Ice is my favourite. I took a reading from it to my book group last week and everyone enjoyed it - though I think you really have to hear it read in his voice to properly appreciate it.<br /><br />I am so full of David Sedaris love!Helenhttp://www.tumblr.com/blog/helens365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-86728557455608849852013-12-17T04:47:03.468+00:002013-12-17T04:47:03.468+00:00I've read his pieces in The New Yorker - some ...I've read his pieces in The New Yorker - some of which I think end up in the books? but not the books themselves. The most recent in TNY was a wrenching piece on his sister's suicide and the family's attempts to deal with it. I also remember one about living in the UK, where he mentioned that it was fairly easy for writers to get residency status - which had me wondering if I could claim to be a writer & apply - would a blog count?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-49303152438164801582013-12-17T02:21:21.478+00:002013-12-17T02:21:21.478+00:00I like listening to Sedaris's books.

He has such a distinctive voice and having a mildly dysfunctional family myself, I find him very funny and quite soothing - his family makes mine look positively normal.GeraniumCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010199887691558717noreply@blogger.com
