Though I normally like to listen to the audio version so he can tell me his stories, I grabbed Liz's library copy before she returned it, but then had to keep interrupting her while reading to ask, “Where have we read this before?” There are a few of the stories that I know I've already read word for word and many that feel very deja vu, enough that I kept checking the copyright date to see if this was somehow an older work that I was accidentally re-reading. Even with that, he still lands a few perfect laugh-out-loud and need-to-repeat-them lines, but maybe now I've reached peak Sedaris saturation.
