Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
4.0
I love David Sedaris' short stories. His sense of humor is so bizarre -- a lot like my own. If you can get past the sometimes crude talk, the bottom line of every story is usually extremely funny.
In this particular book, I love the story he tells at the very end -- about the stranger who comes to his house for directions. The way he describes his house is hilarious, and I've often thought the same thing about my surroundings -- how things so very coincidental could possibly freak someone out.
I also loved one of his stories near the beginning of the book, where he talked about making a snowman out of what snow was left over after so much had melted...he had to use a lot of mud to keep it together. They called the creations Snow Negroes.
These kinds of stories about his life make me laugh out loud. I can definitely relate to much of what he writes!
