"Easily my favorite pleasure read. I couldn't put this book down once I started the first sentence. It is a collection of essays on pop culture and America.

Talk To The Hand | Lynne Truss
1 recommendation

Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays by David Sedaris
2 recommendations
"This is my favorite David Sedaris book because I love his fiction more than his nonfiction. His characters are so bizzare, and the stories normal yet disturbing. A family with children named Faith, Hope, Charity, and Adolph...a young boy with a penchant for writing about his activities with random men in public restrooms...David Sedaris is perverse, funny, and heartwarming all at once."
