1) Audio CD Book When You Are Engulfed in Flames by Hachette Audio. I am familiar with several David Sedaris´ works and I enjoy his occasional New York column. Most of which are extremely enjoyable to read (I didn´t care for Barrel Fever). This book contains many short stories from David´s life, written in a very relatable and humorous manner. David´s works are some of the easiest reads I´ve ever encountered, and his candor is really disarming. Reading his stories makes me feel like I know his family personally, and the writing all the more endearing because of it.

Anybody who has ever thought their family was strange should read this book. People who can appreciate the minor quirks in ourselves and others will appreciate this book. Folks who enjoy a series of funny stories that will have you eagerly flipping the pages as you cackle with delight should buy this book.¤

2) Audio CD Book When You Are Engulfed in Flames by Hachette Audio. David is in top form again for this collection of comic essays. Not his best, but still very good!¤

3) Audio CD Book When You Are Engulfed in Flames by Hachette Audio. As always, Sedaris delivers. This book is hilarious in its oddities while simultaneously sparking something in you that says, "That´s totally happened to me." Sedaris finds a way to take the mundane and make it laugh out loud funny. His quirky personality makes him just the right amount of crazy to keep us on his side and completely "engulfed" in his stories.

This book will not disappoint. And if it does... you might want to get your head checked.¤

4) Audio CD Book When You Are Engulfed in Flames by Hachette Audio. Boring, dreadful, there is nothing good I can say about this book. I find reading law school textbooks much more interesting then this author´s work.¤

5) Audio CD Book When You Are Engulfed in Flames by Hachette Audio. ´When You are Engulfed in Flames´ is one of several collections of true autobiographical stories by David Sedaris. They are funny, mostly in a whimsical versus hilarious sort of way. Some are fairly lame, almost boring. But overall the book is a very fast, breezy read that puts a smile on your face.


Bottom line: perhaps not as good or as funny as his earlier works, nonetheless ´When You are Engulfed in Flames´ is a sure way to cure the blues, .. at least temporarily.¤

6) Audio CD Book When You Are Engulfed in Flames by Hachette Audio. Once again, David Sedaris brings together a collection of essays so uproariously funny and profoundly moving that his legions of fans will fall for him once more. He tests the limits of love when Hugh lances a boil from his backside, and pushes the boundaries of laziness when, finding the water shut off in his house in Normandy, he looks to the water in a vase of fresh cut flowers to fill the coffee machine. From armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds to the awkwardness of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a sleeping fellow passenger on a plane, David Sedaris uses life´s most bizarre moments to reach new heights in understanding love and fear, family and strangers. Culminating in a brilliantly funny (and never before published) account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris´s sixth essay collection will be avidly anticipated.¤
