From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new book of essays taking his listeners on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.

Sometimes a little choppy, but for the most part Sedaris is hilarious...ohh look it's rhymely...one that I'm sure that no one has ever executed before ;-)

This one is on and off for me. I liked some of the stories, and I didn't quite get others.

All in all, is a good collection of essays and sketches if you like David Sedaris. I recommend Me Talk Pretty One Day higher than this one.

I very much enjoyed listening to Sedaris tell me the stories himself, but he lost my interest with the forensics stories at the end. After the first story, the rest felt like filler.
