I just finished Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris, and my belly still aches from giggling. Really, that last story was just too much.
I hate to be a giggler of books, I've always teased those nerds who carried around their manga's chuckling at some stupid joke only a 9 year old would get. In 6th grade, any time we caught someone laughing at what they were reading, we would say "A ha ha ha, the hobbit said...". Even though I love the Hobbit. So to read a silly book was painful for me. I had to try so hard in math class to turn my laughs into coughs. And my smirks into pained grimaces.
I'm just not used to this much fun in reading. Books for me are for drama and adventure, not laughing. That's what movies are for. But really, I liked this a lot, and I hope to read more by this author in the future.
