I've been listening to David Sedaris on my daily walks. I'm almost done with Calypso and just bought cheapo copies of Theft by Finding, Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls, and Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk on CD from eBay. Anybody else like his work?

bengy81 posted:Yeah, I think I've listened to all of it except for Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. His narration is too notch, although some of his older material isn't quite as strong as his newer stuff. I saw him several years ago. His best story was "Six to Eight Black Men". He had the audience in hysterics.

I've been listening to David Sedaris' Theft by Finding. It's excerpts from his voluminous personal diaries from 1977 - 2002. He's had some...interesting...adventures.

Krispy Wafer posted:That book's great, especially if you've read/listened to all of his earlier stuff because you'll hear different parts or more details of stories he's told previously. And it all makes a lot more sense now because you realize he was stoned out of this mind most of the time. Like the entire time he was a mall Santa elf. I have all of his audiobooks. I have this and Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk left to finish.

Krispy Wafer posted:Aw man, I was excited because I hadn't heard that one before and turns out it's one of his 3 hour, $25 titles and nope. He does have 2 new books coming out within the next year or so though. That's why I wait and get them on ebay. I snagged that one for $9 including shipping.

Found this at a local charity shop for $10. It doesn't appear to ever have been listened to. I just need to rip it to my MP3 player.

Got David Sedaris' second audiobook of his diaries, A Carnival of Snackery. This time he has Tracey Ullman read the entries from England and Australia. Funny as always.
