... Stars' Tennis Balls is a silly book. Not bad, but not great. I read it some years ago now.
I finished David Sedaris's Naked on the bus last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll quite happily recommend all his books. And was going to start Sorry by Gail Jones this morning (one of ... ... BCZ at work on Wednesday.
I have The Book Thief somewhere, filed under "I know I should read this sometime" and also Naked (both currently "filed" under 1000+ unshelved books) ... was there. (And I should read at least a small proportion of books I wild release, instead of none.)

Although the chuckles were many with this latest book, none were really gut-busting. But no matter, I adore him still.
Larry Doyle's ... I read most of one of his books, Naked, and I thought it was just okay with some really funny observations mixed in.
What I really like is less his words and more of his readings of his words.
As an NPR personality, I think he is great. Therefore I love hearing his voice speak his stories.
