I've checked out a few books by David Sedaris from the library. His short stories are light and entertaining and perfect reading right before bedtime.

I want to be someone else or I'll explode

You want me?
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing

Well, I've finally finished it and I have nothing but praises and superlatives for it. Absolutely fantastic read. It's so complex and multilayered, I can imagine spending an entire year dissecting it in English class. Definitely one of the best books I've ever read.

Walk In Hell-Harry Turtledove. It's interesting, it's much better written than his other timelines.
