Book 23: Holidays on Ice
I am starting 'Holidays on Ice' by David Sedaris right now. I really wanted to read this around the holidays, but somebody had this book checked out for almost 2 months. This should be a really quick read since it is only 125 pages and I have read 2 of the 5 short stories in his other books. How could someone not read 125 pages in 2 months? Anyway, I want to finish this and return it to the library before vacation and then continue with book number 22.

I just finished this. I was wrong about the number of stories included. I read 3 of the 6 stories. The ones that I had read in other books were my favorites, but I did think that 'Christmas Means Giving' was funny in an ironic and disturbing sort of way. I definitely prefer his personal essays over his short stories, but I still find all his writing entertaining in some way.
ReplyDeleteYou're quick! I need to check one of his books out sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat one was so short. I recommend Naked or Me Talk Pretty One Day as the first one you read. The personal essays are so funny, especially ones about his early childhood.
