This book of collected short stories by David Sedaris is constantly amusing. The stories are mostly written from the first person viewpoint of different protaganists, from irate mothers to a hard working Elf at a department store, but each one shares Sedaris’ off-beat, witty and sometimes slightly bitchy viewpoint. A good subway read. Oh, and if you want a great daily read in a similar vein then check out my friend Sandra’s blog, especially now she’s about to move to New York.
