A long time ago I discovered David Sedaris. I have enjoyed him on audio while working on things and laughing out loud. It is a good combination and it was fun to return to him and catch up.

I can not recall when I first found Sedaris. I am sure it is in my archives here but I am being lazy drinking coffee and putting off what I should be doing so… meh.
I pulled this book out a list of audio I recently downloaded so I could listen while I painted the kitchen. Sedaris proved to be as funny as ever and while painting I enjoyed some real laugh out loud moments. Theft By Finding is snippets that he has taken from his diaries, of funny thoughts, happenings, and a solid reflection of the way he looks at the world.
Sedaris fans may find this book at times to not be as solidly funny as his other books, sometimes you only get a sample of where he is going, and at other times the story may be more about family and life events. Still – I enjoyed it.
Sheila DeChantal also writes at I Guess I am Doing This where she talks on other things besides books such as Life Happenings, Food, Adventures and Grief.
I often wonder if the more books you read of someone, or the more stand-up you watch of someone, etc, the less funny you find it because you get used to their humor, or is it them that become less funny?
Perhaps – I think in this case he is reading exerts from his diary and then elaborating on it. While it is humorous, you are also learning quite a bit about David.
David Sedaris reading rocked despite weird box seats with annoying hairstyles in front of us. His tale of Amtrak rides proved timely.
LOL great line about the hairstyles. 😛 I would love to see him in person.
I love an author that makes me laugh. Sedaris is good that way. Thanks for sharing.
You bet 🙂
