19. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris Not as funny as Me Talk Pretty One Day by still very funny!

I have to second A Confederacy of Dunces. I also love David Sedaris, especially Me Talk Pretty One Day. I also remember having a really good time with The Rachel Papers, though it has been a really long time and I don't remember why. (Perhaps I need to reread it.)

53. Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris I laughed out loud at some parts and scratched my head at others, overall a funny group of essays describing one man's struggle with language issues. (Among other things.)

32) Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris This was my second of Sedaris' books. I liked this one better than Dress Your Family... I actually read this one in ebook form at work, so the humor was gladly welcomed.

Sandydog1 in Humor : David Sedaris (Jul 10, 2008, 9:18pm)

I'm about halfway through Me Talk Pretty One Day and am only mildly amused. I know he has many books out, and, because I have the attention span of a short-tailed shrew, I have to ask this question: "What is his funniest work?"

... still has laugh-out-loud passages and good portions of the quirky Sedaris family. Readers who enjoyed his French lessons in Me Talk Pretty One Day, will like his Japanese lessons here.

... Although I must admit that he needs to dredge up some more family memories if he wants to match the hilarity of Naked and Me talk pretty one day. Although the chuckles were many with this latest book, none were really gut-busting. But no matter, I adore him still. Larry Doyle's book is a ...
