I'm finished reading the book I Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. This book was a collection of essays about the author's life. Overall, the book was very funny and told a lot about the author's life and personality. David Sedaris is obviously a very funny man and has a comic talent, especially when it comes to telling personal stories. He's always able to put a twist on these stories to make them relatable, or at the very least, take something that wouldn't normally be humorous and make it funny and exciting. David Sedaris is clearly a credible author because he writes frequently for Esquire, does commentaries on NPR, and has written a number of New York Times best sellers. In this book, I believe that his purpose was to demonstrate his own skill as a writer and to allow the audience, the common crowd of readers, to learn something about him or get to know him better. He was also able to connect to the readers even though all of his stories were personal, and the audience may or may not have been able to connect to them. I would give the book a 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to everyone who needs something funny to read.
