David Sedaris Talking Pretty

I just finished Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Loved this collection of hilarious short essays. My two favorites were "Jesus Shaves" and "The Tapeworm is In." Thankfully for all of us, Sedaris endured some hellacious French classes, and survived to tell the tales. In this book he shares his frustrations with gender assignments for inanimate objects, his impossibly arrogant French teacher, and the ambiguous explanation of Easter to a Moroccan student in his French class.
