I agree!
I suppose the cult is fairly larger here in the states…just not in my parts! He is coming to Atlanta, and for the past few months I have been stalking ticketmaster to see if they are on sale yet/if there is a date for them to go on sale…but so far no such luck!
I love Amy Sedaris, ‘tis why I checked out David. I love Stewart/Colbert as well, but I never really thought about them linking me to him…I suppose Colbert is in the mix somehow, being on Strangers With Candy and all, but I blame Amy. She is dear to me as well.
THE POO STORY IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES! I cried and couldn’t stop laughing for about 15 minutes after I read that one. SO AMAZING. I also love the one where he is on drugs and doing all of the “artsy” stuff.
Naked is definitely my favorite as a collective, though. I think…Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim may be a little higher. Regardless, they are all great and no real reason to rank anything like I try to do and fail miserably at all of the time!

That’s awesome. It’s hard to pick a favourite with David Sedaris. I guess it’s easier to figure out which articles I enjoy the most from each book or something (Speaking of, the one where he had to face the really hard poo in Me Talk Pretty… is a classic). I don’t know many people who know of him either (and most who do, like myself, would have discovered him through the Stephen Colbert/ Jon Stewart connection or mayhaps been forced to read his work by yours truly), but at the same time it’s pretty cool too be part of the tight little cult who managed to stumble across the brilliance. It’s like discovering something fantastic before it became the new ‘it’ thing among the masses.

Completely the truth! Nobody I know has read any of his work (figures), so I told one of my super-awesome-intelligent friends to read Me Talk Pretty One Day (not my favorite, but hey it’s a start) and he was so indifferent to it. He is one of those people that if someone says he is anything less than perfect then I take it personally! Haha.

I love David Sedaris. So hilarious, observant and wonderfully human. One of my all-time favourite authors.

This man gets me through life most of the time…wonderful.
