ho ho ho -
Omigosh, this was one with like a hard ice tea in the middle of the dessert. I thought the conversational essay was dead. Reading Dave is such a treat, he is the kind of guy I should date,polite,observant,with a dark witty, messed up sense of humor.
Anyone who has worked in retail during Christmas can relate to The Santaland Diaries. He tells you about the highs and lows of being a christmas elf.
Dina the Christmas Whore was a great visual essay and The Christmas Letter was a scream.(although in the most twisted way )
The last two are confusing and not worth reading. But other than that its a great book.

David Sedaris -
The best way to appreciate David Sedaris is either live or on audio cd. The man is hystericaly funny, in a condescending, sharp-tongued manner. He is the Mark Twain of his day (if Twain had been a gay midget).
fast and easy! -
The book got mailed right away and was to me very shortly! Very nice
One Gaffe on Ice... -
Okay, so there's no way anyone can say this author doesn't possess that gusty type of humor. No way! SantaLand Diaries, I remembered being the reason Sedaris's name stayed penned in my memory as `that gusty humorous author.'
But I stopped cold with Season's Greetings... thank God it wasn't as long as SantaLand... which made it difficult to laugh getting through the Christmas Whore. Season's Greeting literally made me sick to my stomach. Ridiculing the Vietnamese girl and her language, yet leaving a child in her care, the dryer, the legal scuffle... My God! ...Why was this story even included!?! But least I stop and digress as enough people have already pronounced their displeasure here...
To conclude, struggling as I did getting through the whore to actually get back to the chuckle bubbles that kept erupting in SantaLand, I eventually recognized what makes Sedaris an attention grabbing name.
Let's see: "...industrial-strength lasagna,"... "pea-sized conscience"... "...wrong-headed and pointless" ... "disposable boats, ultrasuede basketballs..." --these unsullied phrases are littered throughout the book. As noted above, I am finicky and draw lines quickly where it concerns children, but Front Row Center... I cried laughing! I mean come on now, comparing bad entertainment to treating cancer early, that's just over the top brilliant humor... and a bit clique I must add.
Saved for the stories pulled from the dark side of someone's traumatizing suffering, the way Sedaris lays humor on paper otherwise is among the cleverest in this time!

Merry Christmas! -
I needed to read something light and fun after that last book and this certainly fit the bill! I just love David Sedaris! I was a little disappointed that the three new essays were fiction, but they are still very funny. I just prefer the stories about his family, like "Dinah, the Christmas Whore," but I really did enjoy "Front Row and Center with Thaddeus Bristol" quite a bit! I hear there is an updated version of this book out and now and it has even more new material, so I will have to get around to picking that up!
