- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've heard David in the past when listening to This American Life and now I understand so much better where David is coming from- the present- the living in the moment. You inspire me David and I get you
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5David Sedaris is by far my favorite author. He will make you laugh, sometimes cry, but mostly laugh. His observations a gems to be read and loved.
