Along with Eddie Izzard (who I spotlighted back 10 hours ago), David Sedaris is one of my favorites. I happened upon one of his books by chance and just loved his very dry, very very snarky writing style. He tours and does book readings and once I heard his very distinct voice, I was hooked. In fact, I think I’d rather listen to DS than read him just because he brings his words to life in a most unique way. Given his quirky take on things, I had to introduce him to Lauren and wouldn’t you know it? She grew to love him too. DUH, right? I think having someone really “get” my odd sense of humor (instead of laughing politely at it) is one of the things I miss most about my relationship with her.
YouTube (and bless its heart, too) had just one DS video but it’s a good one. Presented for your listening enjoyment below is David Sedaris.
Keep on going! Stopping in to visit and will stop by again. -Margie
Of course David Sedaris is the best! We’ve had the pleasure of seeing him live and laughing to his deadpan. I found him on NPR’s This American Life.
Check out Sarah Vowell if you haven’t met her yet. She is as funny as David Sedaris, or sort of.
