We're not quite finished, but it's been excellent so far.

Oh, i love David Sedaris - I'll have to pick that up!! I've never heard him read.

Two of the stories - ones about his own past - were classic Sedaris and I loved them; others were mostly just disturbing. But the first essay - Santaland - is worth it.
