Book: Me Talk Pretty One Day
Popular writer David Sedaris (we actually went to see him at the State Theatre a couple of weeks ago) put together this New York Times bestseller; it's a range of short essays, based on observations from his life and childhood, and - in the second half - from his attempts to learn French, in France, from a teacher who freely admits that she hates him.
Though his sense of humour and choice of subject matter will not be to everyone's taste, I found his writing to be tight, and - on occasion - laugh-out-loud funny.
