"When You Are Engulfed In Flames"

David Sedaris has done it again. He's compiled another collection of essays in his new book, When You Are Engulfed In Flames. I wasn't into the book for five minutes before I started to spew iced tea. My husband kept looking at me and asking just what I was reading.

I think he may have thought I was into devil worship or something of the sort due to the cover. Look it up - you'll see what I mean. Anyway, it makes perfect sense once you know.

It's entirely possible that David Sedaris is in my top five writers list and that's a hard list to crack, especially since I feel like have read more books than most people give a passing thought about. I digress, naturally, but I am past that now and just want to go on record that I will never, ever consider thrift store pants and if I ever meet a Mrs. Peacock, I am going to keep my distance.

I've only read a third of the book - this is one I want to savor because who knows then the next one will appear? Trust me, I am NOT a savorer - I am a devourer... this is not easy.

Go on, really check out this book - and if humorous writing appeals to you (this is not for kids or preteens, of course), give Sedaris a whirl.
