I agree. And The Year of Living Biblically was even better.

I really love all books by David Sedaris. I also really loved The Year of Living Biblically. I loved the book Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress. What other books have people read that have the same type of humor?

Nice reading, Rachel! I enjoyed The Year of Living Biblically, too - I know Jacobs must have the most long-suffering wife in the world to put up with his antics. If you have not read The Know-It-All by him, I recommend it as well.
