[g_na]

When You Are Engulfed In Flames - David Sedaris - His latest selection of autobiographical essays ranging from amusing to downright funny. This is the kind of book where you just want to read "one more chapter" before setting it down for the night. Highly Recommended.

Holidays on Ice - David Sedaris - A collection of six holiday-themed stories

Thanks for posting this. I am always trying to figure out what to read.

As a HUGE fan of both...

...I give a slight edge to Sedaris, only because his memoirs are a bit more humorous and less serious than Burroughs. That and Sedaris has a funnier take on sexuality than his hornier contemporary. When reading Sedaris, it's harder to stop and bookmark between essays/chapters, as some are beyond drop dead funny, whereas Burroughs can be downright depressing at times
