I've been through almost the same process-- Enjoy David Sedaris on TAL, but was somewhat disappointed in reading his books on paper. I'm about ready to listen to this one as an audiobook. Your review has really encouraged me to do so, thanks! Laura’s last blog post..Reflections on Guernsey Literary Society and on-line relationships

I think I should try some sedaris on audio. I read Dress your family in corduroy and denim and couldn't get on with it all but I've had a few people suggest I listen to him,so I might try this. jo’s last blog post..Booking Through Thursday-Sticky Books

I love listening to David Sedaris - I just listened to Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. I like reading his books, too, but I definitely prefer listening to him read his own work. charley’s last blog post..The Station Agent & Atonement

I agree that this book was a bit long. To fully appreciate Sedaris, I think it's necessary to have heard him deliver. Every time I read his stuff, I imagine him actually saying it. That's what cracks me up! S. Krishna’s last blog post..Last Night in Montreal – Emily St. John Mandel

Sounds like a good one for print -- easier to skim the less-favorite essays. Beth F’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday (June 3)

I like hearing him read his own stuff, but I like reading it on my own, too. And yes, I agree that the title essay got a bit long. Here’s my review of this book: http://necromancyneverpays.blogspot.com/2008/06/when-you-are-engulfed-in-flames.html

I’ve only experienced Sedaris on audio books and I enjoyed both. I do agree that the title essay on this was my least favorite.

I agree. I like Sedaris' writing, but I find it much more funny when he's reading it. Lezlie Lezlie’s last blog post..THE BORGIA BRIDE
