Yes, it's that good. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but I have indeed acquired a taste for Mr Sedaris' readings. Got this title as a sample track when I first downloaded the Audible app some years ago on my first Android phone... Had me hook, line and sinker. Went on to purchase the entire audio book.

David is at his best when he is reading to a live audience, and the stories feel at their best when the audience truly truly gets him (in other titles you can sense the subtle beauty in his poignant humour fly right over some of the audience memebers' heads... But not this one). This reading at Carnegie Hall sounded like a pleasure for David to perform, and a pleasure for the audience themselves to be there... The best kind. And it translates well while listening in your living room/bed room/commute/gym, just as well.

If you're a new Sedaris fan... Start here.

Laugh. Out. Loud. And then wipe the tears away...
