Me Talk Pretty One Day
part 1
What do you like about his style? Does he crack you up like he does me?
I aspire to be his female heterosexual counterpart. We even look alike: two eyes, one nose... four limbs intact, except one of mine is held in place with a bunch of plates and pins!
I prefer his audio books because I like the way he reads his stories. How about you?
I absolutely love him. I think writing something funny is just about the hardest thing you can do. It takes quite a bit of skill to make someone laugh until they cry, but he has managed to do just that with every book he has written (although some are better than others). I got the chance to see him read in South Florida a couple years ago. It was fantastic. He's funnier than most stand up comics and he's also absolutely brilliant.
As far as the audio tapes go, I actually prefer reading the books. But, when I read I can hear his voice telling the story. I have heard him read a few of his stories on NPR, though.
All in all, he's fantastic.

Some authors just work better on audio. Sarah Vowell, like David Sedaris, is, for me, one of those authors. When I read them in print, because I know they’re meant to be funny, I find myself reading for punch lines, but their humor is so deadpan that it’s not really about punch lines, and my internal comedy reading voice just doesn’t work. I am, however, an ardent fan of the radio show This American Life , and Sarah Vowell’s essays are part of the reason why. So, of course, I figured I’d be entertained by an audiobook of nothing but Vowell. And I was.
is a collection of essays by Sarah Vowell. Most of these are musings on American history and politics, although she also writes about her family, the weirdly square shape of Tom Cruise, and the pleasure of Pop-a-Shot (a basketball dunking arcade game).
