Gratitude | Oliver Sacks

This short essay collection was published after Oliver Sack's death, and it contains some of his best work IMO. He writes from the heart about his life and his mortality. #readathonessays @Liberty

Naked | David Sedaris

My favorite essay collection has to be by David Sedaris. Words can not express how much I love this man. Every book, every story, every This American Life episode he has contributed to, makes my heart swell. #readathonessays

"Because I had been tired too long and quarrelsome too much and too often frightened of migraine and failure and the days getting shorter, I was sent, a recalcitrant thirty-one-year-old child, to Hawaii, where winter does not come and no one fails and the median age is twenty-three."

My post for @Liberty 's #READATHONESSAYS giveaway! When I saw her post I thought to myself that I rarely read essays. Then I realized that was totally untrue and I love essays! I just don't realize I'm reading them. This was a recent favorite. Intense, and real Jeff Chang goes into some difficult topics, but he makes it very accessible for lots of different people. Also, he was a joy to meet!!!
