Does anyone read his books. I love it. Though I'm not on the same political mindset I still appreciate good humor. I saw him in person awhile ago.
Another Author I love on similar lines is Patrick McManus
and
Thurber...his stuff is CLASSIC

Hey Laluna!
Try I'm a Stranger Here Myself or Neither Here nor There. If you travel they are ridiculously funny!
Bridget- My kids didnt find my expulsion as funny as my husband and I did! It was well worth it though. Laughter is better than a comfy seat any day!

OMG - that's a great story! I'm usually reduced to tears and snorting from laughing so hard at Sedaris. So far I've only read A Walk in the Woodsby Bryson, but he's incredibly clever as well. Any suggestions on what of his to read next?

Dave Barry is a scream! However, no one sends me into fits of laughter quite like David Sedaris!

I LOVE Dave Berry. When I was a teenager, I would borrow all his books from the library and then just sit in my bedroom and read and laugh until I cried. Another author who is very similar to him in humor and style is Peter McKay.
