Status Updates From Me Talk Pretty One Day

finished: introduction to the 2013 version (originally published in 2000)

I normally skip introductions. With old books, they tend to be "spoilers", and if it's an introduction by someone who isn't the author, I frankly 🤷duncur

But this one is by Sedaris himself and already had me choking on my spit on page two, so I'm hopeful the book will have retained its charm over the years wohoo

Re-read!
Gifted this book to Michael for his birthday since David Sedaris was my funny go-to author for chuckles when I was a teenager --- I have!! however!! never read him in english so I'm a mixture of excited and anxious to find out if he still lands with me now :D

I’ve read all of the David Sedaris books at least once. This is the one I recommend to people, and they usually want to follow up with more of his books. Such a talented writer. Always makes me giggle or laugh out loud with my head tossed back. His books are basically his journals. He talks about his life as a child in this one, and later on his books as an adult.
