1. Maus - Art Spiegelman
I'm a fan of David Sedaris as he is right now. That isn't the person being talked about in this book most of the time though. With the exception of the final, eponymous story this book mainly serves to show you how much of a shiftless asshole he was in his youth. To his credit he is aware of that fact, which makes the book bearable (and still funny). I don't think I could have handled it if he thought he was being a good person all that time.
