[...] I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I love David Sedaris. Naked was the first of his books I ever read, and it’s been a good six years since then, so it was about time for a re-read. As funny as Sedaris’s stories are on paper, they are infinitely better when presented in his voice, and this audio recording of my favorite Sedaris book really hammered that message home. Opening with “A Plague of Tics,’ which is easily my favorite piece in any of his works, Sedaris describes the odd compulsive behaviors that defined his childhood—licking light switches, making strange vocalizations, and rocking back and forth just a few among them—and recalls witnessing his mother and teachers imitate him during supposed parent-teacher conferences.

I have a guest blogger on my site today who shared about her experience meeting David Sedaris at a book signing too. She also thought it was unlike any other book signing she had ever been to. She is off to see him again tonight in Denver. Here is the link if you want to read her blog entitled, “My First Time.”

I’m (obviously) behind in my blog reading, but I’m going to see him tomorrow! I can’t wait! I haven’t been too impressed with my first foray into his work, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, but from what I’ve heard, seeing him live will be a real treat!

That sounds wonderful. I have always been jealous of the people who work at my local bookstores and get to meet the fantastic authors!

Thanks for the report, I’ll have to attend vicariously through you–he’s coming to my city on Halloween night! Somehow I don’t think my kids would go for me taking off in the middle of trick-or-treating to go to a reading. I love that he read unpublished stuff, and something by another author.

I really enjoyed reading “Me Talk Pretty One Day”. It’s nice to hear that he is as cool as he seems to be in his books!
