When You Are Engulfed in Flames

The other book I finished while I was on vacation was When You Are Engulfed in Flames, by David Sedaris. You've heard David Sedaris on This American Life (the best show on radio, IMHO), and other places. This was my favorite of Sedaris's books. All of the stories in it were interesting, funny, and memorable. Sedaris has a distinctive voice, and while I'm reading along I sometimes like to have his voice be the voice in my head as I go -- makes it even funnier. Sedaris is a master storyteller, with a wealth of eccentric experiences from which to draw. I hope you give this one a try; you'll enjoy it.
