Me Talk Pretty

January 3rd, 2008

sedaris.jpgI read Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris in one sitting. Granted it was on the flight from Portland to Frankfurt so I had to sit, but this book is brilliant even if David is not. There is a section where he takes an IQ test for the society of Mensa and the results are staggering and hilarious.

Here is a different bit:
“The tank refilled, and I made a silent promise. The deal was that if this thing would go away, I’d repay the world by performing some unexpected act of kindness. I flushed the toilet a second time, and the big turd spun in a lazy circle. “Go on,” I whispered. “Scoot! Shoo!” I turned away, ready to perform my good dead, but when I looked back down, there it was, bobbing to the surface in a fresh pool of water.

Just then someone knocked on the door, and I started to panic. ” ~ Big Boy

If that does not sell it for you nothing will. I got my 15 bucks worth out of this and would like to pass it on. If you want it I can inter-office mail it to you. Or I can give it to someone here in London. Raise your hand if you are into this sort of thing.
