    David Sedaris - "Me Talk Pretty One Day"

    David Sedaris - "Me Talk Pretty One Day"
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...7056197-7568055
    2001, 4 stars, 272 pages

    This was one of the books suggested for the Book Club, so I thought I would make a thread so people could discuss it, since there seems to be interest...

    I loved this book; it was hilarious!

    I read "Naked" by him and really didn't care for it. I found it somewhat juvenile. Just my opinion, though, and maybe this one is better...

    Nah, if you didn't like Naked you probably wouldn't like Me Talk Pretty One Day. I loved both of them. Of course.
    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's eyes... but why... why... why can't it be me?

    Actually, I prefer Me Talk Pretty One Day over Naked. But, if you don't enjoy that type of humor, Anna, may not like it.

    Oh I did as well. Me Talk is much better than Naked, but if you don't like the style of Naked I can't see you liking Me Talk.

    I was in the hospital for two weeks and my friends bought me a whole stack of books to read and that was one of them - the only reason I read it actually. I had the most eclectic mix of books while I was in there...

    I just listened to a collection of his books. They were hilarious.

    I have heard him read excerpts of his books on public radio and just laughed the entire time.
