Well, this week I am reading Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. This book is, well for lack of better words, out of the ordinary. I'm pretty sure this is a manifesto, if not maybe an autobiography although I don't think Sedaris is that old... maybe a work of fiction-- that is, if he didn't do all the messed up stuff (drugs and some kind of art that I have no idea about...) but I think he did, well whatever it is it's interesting. Definitely interesting.
It's about this guy- David- and is in 1st person and so far I have gotten to him talking about his job at a moving company and he has already gone through his artist stage and drug stage and artist-on-drug stage as well as some other stuff from his childhood and I find it a pretty cool read. Although I am not sure what the point of this book is or what it is even about, I like it, so yep:)
