I took the list of books you gave me, books listed more than once counted more than once. The first book is one of the funniest I've ever read and is called Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

On October 6th, I'll write a synopsis and ask 2 questions.

Wahoo! I've been looking for a reason to read some David Sedaris (without feeling like a tool for reading whatever is popular). Yay!

Can you let us know what the 2nd and possibly 3rd books will be to consolidate amazon.com orders for free shipping?

Thanks!

I still haven't bought it! I was going to go to Amazon.com to save money, but now I'm thinking that maybe I will just bite the bullet and go to the bookstore.

Now, get to reading or Ruth will put the smackdown on you!

How long is it? Is it a quick read? I still haven't bought it, and I'm in the middle of another book! I know they have it at Costco, though, so I should be able to pick it up for a decent price. Or at least they did last time I was there.

It's a very quick read!
