Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.
Another memoir by Sedaris, who this time is simply pulling some nuggets out of his diaries from decades ago. Honestly, I’m not sure if he is stretching a yarn with some of these stories, or if he’s more observant than I am, or if he just has led the sort of life that puts him in the path of some of these crazy characters. Maybe it’s a little of all the above. In any case, it had me laughing at a time when I needed lifting out of my stressful everyday life, and I appreciated it.
Audiobook, borrowed from my public library via Overdrive, with an excellent narration by the author.
