Picked up at The Book Thing of Baltimore. Registered in Centreville, Virginia, USA.

Since I haven't read Barrel Fever, all but one of the stories in this collection were new to me, and I really enjoyed them all. Some of them were more weird than funny, but there were enough laugh-out-loud moments to make up for the bits that fell short of awesome. I especially enjoyed the Santaland Diaries, about Sedaris's stint as a Macy's elf, and Front Row Center, which is basically what would happen if a theater critic started covering elementary school Christmas pageants. Definitely recommended, but not if you're feeling too sentimental about the holidays. Sentimental is one thing this book definitely is not.

Per my usual, I didn't log this book in when I got home. I'm sick and thinking a short book might be what the patient needs.
