Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I always wonder at reviewers who describe Sedaris as “screamingly funny” or similarly, because I find his humour more quiet and understated. No less enjoyable, but it only sometimes makes me chuckle out loud (which I did in the doctor’s waiting room with this book). I do love his turns of phrase, however, and his knack for touching upon things we might think but never admit to–thus making some of us feel a bit more “normal.” This collection struck me as a bit more melancholy than some of his others, but I did enjoy it very much.
