I think this will be a hate read. The second essay was about yelling at a guy on the train to turn his music down, but then he felt bad for the guy. Then later when a woman told him to do the same later, he thought she was a c***. The humor, if it can so be called, is so outdated.

The hate read continues lol still bad, unrelatable writing with no heart and even less comedy.

Trying one essay per day. Sedaris continues to be out of touch and unlikable - maybe he always was - in the first essay about his husband's hip surgery and the great lengths he went to not to help him, including flying in someone else to help and snobby jokes about people who eat *stuffing* on the holidays rather than pan seared scallops. It has become funny, in a way, that he's turned into such a lame person.
