Review: Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say? This is classic David Sedaris book – witty short stories, wonderful quick reads. He packs so much into such compact stories! He has you laughing at the absurdities of his life because you recognize some similarities between his experiences and your own. All are upbeat, even the ones with serious overtones.

What’s especially fun is if you have seen him read his stories in person (I saw him here in Houston at Jones Hall) – you can’t help but read his stories in his charmingly funny monotone voice. It’s like I have a mini-David Sedaris in my head reading his book to me… 🙂

A must-read for those of us with a dark, wry sense of humor.
