(You can catch up on what my Reading Challenge is all about here.)
Book: Naked by David Sedaris
Verdict: I actually finished this book about three weeks ago, but forgot to write about it until now. I adore David Sedaris... perfect, easy, hilarious reading. I read most of this riding the bike at the gym and in an airport/on an airplane. I definitely laughed out loud a few times, which is always a little awkward in public. That's how funny this book was. This is the second (or maybe third?) book of his that I've read, and they are kind of like reading candy. I own several of his books, but I'm planning to space them out amongst more serious reading. Speaking of which...
Next up on the Reading Challenge: I think I need to go back and pick another book off the list, otherwise I'll never get through them. I now officially have read more off-list books than on-list books since this began. (And yes, that number is FIVE in 16 months. Pathetic.) I had already started reading This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but life got in the way and I put it down and haven't picked it back up in months. I think I'll start it over.
Which David Sedaris books do you have? I have a few if you ever want to borrow.
I also have Dress Your Family on audiobook and Live from Carnegie Hall. I love these for long drives!!

"Naked" was the first David Sedaris book I ever read -- a required reading for my Freshman English class in College -- I have been in love ever since.
My vote for the next book off the list is either "1984" or "Brave New World" -- actually, read them back-to-back. I did this for a high school project and it is quite interesting.
