Started March 31. Finished April 8. Liked it nearly as much as Age of Wonder. Might need to pick up a copy for my bookshelf.
When You Are Engulfed in Flames
Decided to read some David Sedaris (finally) after hearing an interview about the time this book came out along with other interviews since then. Started March 28, finished March 31. Kinda uneven. based on reviews read after I finished reading this, it sounds like I should read some of his earlier titles. Noted.
