My first David Sedaris read. Decently quirky and entertaining. I probably enjoyed 70% of the stories - especially those about his encounters with the French language.

I actually switched the hard copy for audio and enjoyed listening to David Sedaris read. His humor is a little quirky and I think hearing it definitely adds something. At first I thought it was a little *too* quirky but by the time he arrived in France and began to struggle with the language, I was rolling. There will definitely be more Sedaris books in my future!

Megabooks He‘s fantastic! 13mo

I read this book as part of the Goodreads 2023 reading challenge. I guess I‘ve found another genre that I‘m not particularly fond of. Maybe this type of comedy didn‘t translate well into the written form? Parts were funny, I did enjoy reading about the authors struggles with the French language. Other than that, this book just wasn‘t for me.

This book was too familiar to me, from his childhood visits to a speech pathologist to becoming an "ex-pat" (that term also always felt wrong to me, so I am happy he brought it up). Instead of French, I was taking Italian classes, which I had to pass to be a resident. I could relate to so many of his stories. Laughed a lot! ♥️

I love everything this man writes. Hilarious and thoughtful. I prefer the stories from his childhood over the ones about his time in France and for that reason, I enjoyed Naked more. Nonetheless, Sedaris has quickly become one of my favorite authors!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘ve read this 5, maybe 6, times. Idk, I‘ve lost count. Sedaris is my go-to when I‘m stressed and want to revisit (what feels like) an old friend. His essays about learning French are some of his very best! I die.

JamieArc I first read this while studying in France in 2005 and it is still the most relatable book I‘ve ever read 😆 3y

AmyG My son saw him and had the best time. He also met him in NYC at the Gucci store. He was trying on coulottes (with his sister Amy) and asked my son how he looked. They chatted for a bit. My son said he was the nicest person….and my son was beside himself with joy. 3y

Had the absolute best time last night out to dinner and then to see DAVID SEDARIS with my mom ♥️
He was fabulous!! I spent the day leaving up to seeing him listening to the tagged book which covers his early days abroad learning French.
At the event, he read several essays from his upcoming Happy-Go-Lucky (releasing next month!), other essays and journal entries and even plugged another author — Patricia Lockwood. The best time ♥️

jlhammar Sounds like a great evening. Can‘t wait for Happy-Go-Lucky! 3y

‘Me Talk Pretty One Day‘ is my first David Sedaris read. No recounts of human-nests fashioned from hair or even bananas that resemble a turd more than a banana could make me put this down. The lesson to be learned from this book is that it is indeed acceptable to think you are smarter than everyone, because you‘re probably right. 5/5.

Another #NewYearWhoDis recommendation from @meghathecloud! Unfortunately, I didn't find this as enjoyable as some of Sedaris's other collections, but there were a few amusing moments. I went back and forth between the physical book and the audiobook, and definitely enjoyed listening to the stories more than reading them!

This was also my #DoubleSpin pick for January! @TheAromaofBooks

meghathecloud It's okay that you didn't like it that much. I read it after a string of lot of heavy books, and found it to be refreshing. But, looking back I think I was mainly surprised by how it had managed to be humourous and still have something like profoundness. It is the one and only Sedaris that I have read. Hopefully I'll get to his other books this year. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 4y
candority @meghathecloud I totally understand the value of a book like this after a bunch of more serious ones! I hope you enjoy his other books! 4y

I am amazed at Sedaris‘s knack for being cutting without being cruel, to tease but never bully. Every critical observation he offers is laced with love and LOLs. Every autobiographical gem he mines is polished to a bright shine. Me Talk Pretty One Day definitely lives up to the hype, and I guarantee it will tickle your funny bone, even in your darkest hours.

Fantastic read! Megan lent this to me probably ten years ago and I never got around to reading it. Found it in Benin and when I picked it up I couldn‘t put it down. Wonderfully funny and ridiculous and pessimistic and snarky stories. Stories about learning French and living somewhere you don‘t speak the language. I adored it and him. One of those books that make you want to be best friends with the author. He seems impossible

Had started this one a long while ago and by the time I picked it back up, I had forgotten where I was, so I just started it over again. Sedaris always has the ability to make me laugh so hard, I‘m doubled over, and this one was no exception. The chapter “I Almost Saw This Girl Get Killed,” despite its gruesome headline, was hilarious. Highly recommend.

4-4.5 ⭐️

David Sedaris is a talent and his skill to elevate the everyday is inspired. Some stories are better than others, of course, but I knew I could count on him not only for good storytelling, made even better when listening to him tell his stories in his own voice #Audiobook #Audible, but also for a few good laughs, something I desperately needed this past week.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After reading Zuckoff‘s amazing 9/11 book this week, I desperately needed something funny and comforting. And what‘s better than a favorite? This was my 3rd or 4th time reading this collection. Sedaris making fun of his French-learning process slays me every time.

I didn't love this one. Some of the stories were interesting, but overall they fell flat for me. I think that Sedaris probably is just not for me.

MaleficentBookDragon I'm right there will you. I don't get why he is so loved. I don't find him funny; he comes across as very mean spirited for me. And I HATED 6y
cherinium @MaleficentBookDragon I also felt like his dry humor and sarcasm came off as mean. From this book, I definitely don't think he's someone I'd ever want to hang out with. Too egotistical and self righteous. 6y

Whenever my husband hears my audiobooks, he always asks why I listen to the exact same person over and over again. Usually he‘s just crazy, but I would say he has become familiar with Sedaris‘s voice, given how often I listen to his audiobooks. 😂 This one focuses on Sedaris‘s move to France and is just as funny as his others.

I think I gave this a fair chance, as I am on page 96, but I am just not enjoying this book at all. I‘ve resolved to abandon more books in 2019, which may seem like a strange resolution, but I need to stop wasting time on things like this. Life‘s too short. I‘d have no problem turning off a movie I wasn‘t enjoying. I need to better extend that to closing the book.

Bookishlie I know what you mean. I give every book 50 to 100 pages and then I bail if I'm not feeling it. 6y
