Well, because we were reading Nervous Conditions, I put aside the books that I was previously reading, which were Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris and Deadly Little Voices by Laurie Faria Stolarz. I have picked back up Sedaris' book and have read that one this week. This counts as a new book right??
Times:
Jane Goodall's dilemma: 25 minutes
Figuring out what paper I had (reading the comments): 45 minutes
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris-- 90 minutes
Total: 160 minutes
Me Talk Pretty One Day is this book, similar to The Elegance of the Hedgehog in that it makes you think. It's not just this book with set characters and a plot and there's this amazing story, well it is, but it makes you think and I don't really know how to describe it, but its really good. The first, well, like 200 pages I was SO bored-- the book didn't seem good and I was just like well I want to finish it because its supposed to be good and I don't want to wander about what may have happened, but, after taking a (much needed) break from it, I have found that it really is good-- maybe that's the different chapters or maybe its just that I needed some time off to not be so stressed with what I do not even know...
So, yep, that's it!
I love David Sedaris. And I'm glad you are liking it better, though if you are not rolling on the floor laughing while reading, it may not be the book for you.
