Light humor, easy read submitted by A2AE on July 2, 2019, 3:16pm If you like humorous essays by Sedaris, you should try these out. The first essay was by far the strongest and very funny. The rest of the collection was good but not as tightly written as the first essay (or a Sedaris essay for that matter).

So Funny submitted by leah karr on June 13, 2022, 11:53pm There were so many times I actually laughed out loud. Grateful for the laughs along the way with this book.
