I adore David´s writing and can´t imagine anyone more suited to reading it. His impressions are simply wonderful!
2) Audio CD Book The David Sedaris Box Set by Time Warner Audio Books. David Sedaris is truly one of my favorite authors and I love to read his work. However, if you have never HEARD Mr. Sedaris´ voice before, it takes some getting used to. At first it is almost painful to listen to because his voice is so... so... um... he sounds like Woody Allen doing a Woody Allen imitation.
3) Audio CD Book The David Sedaris Box Set by Time Warner Audio Books. I would´ve given it 5 stars but it should get about 4.8 stars.
4) Audio CD Book The David Sedaris Box Set by Time Warner Audio Books. While it´s great hearing David Sedaris´ voice, it ultimately takes away from the experience. Sedaris´ books are amazingly funny and dark; very witty stuff. They are best enjoyed in print form though, when the reader can inject their own tone and inflection into the words of the printed page. Hearing David Sedaris´ interpretation somewhat lessens this experience.
5) Audio CD Book The David Sedaris Box Set by Time Warner Audio Books. As a big fan of David Sedaris, I have loved listening to him read his stories on NPR even more than I have enjoyed reading his books. While I had wanted to purchase some of the audiobooks, they always seemed so pricy.
6) Audio CD Book The David Sedaris Box Set by Time Warner Audio Books. All of David Sedaris´ best in one box set, now on CD and at 20% off the combined CD prices of individual titles!

Star radio storyteller David Sedaris presents his collected works in one audio box set. The longest (at five hours) is his latest, Me Talk Pretty One Day, which contains two live performances from San Francisco. Welcome to a world where dogs outrank children, guitars have breasts, and Sedaris´s fellow language-class students try to convey the concept of Easter to a Moroccan Muslim in their fledgling French (translated into English): "It is a party for the little boy of God," says one. "Then he be die one day on two ... morsels of ... lumber," says another. Sedaris is hilarious, and his Billie Holiday impression is amazing. The three-hour, Christmas-themed Holidays on Ice is the gem of the collection. It has his greatest hit, "SantaLand Diaries," a chronicle of his stint as an elf at Macy´s, covering everything from the preliminary group lectures ("You are not a dancer. If you were a real dancer you wouldn´t be here. You´re an elf and you´re going to wear panties like an elf.") to the perils of inter-elf flirtation. Other hits feature the crazed newsletter "Season´s Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!" and the prostitute coworker his sister brought home one Yuletide, giving "the phrase ´ho, ho, ho´ whole different meaning." Barrel Fever contains the fulminatingly funny "Glen´s Homophobia Newsletter, Vol. 3, No. 2" and "Parade," discussing the narrator´s perhaps not fully plausible gay relationships with Bruce Springsteen, Mike Tyson, and Peter Jennings. Naked describes his adventures in a nudist colony, but his family tales are, as ever, nonpareil.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 18-Nov-2008, 15862143499781586214340, 720-491-471-25B-ATB-QIB-DAB-8
