David Sedaris is a comedian, author, general humorist, who brings all that talent to his books with masterful skill. A friend recently suggested I check some of his work out, so I hopped on google and ended up picking the one that looked slightly familiar: Calypso (was it just familiar because of the good old "making a face out of knots in a plank of wood" we've all pictured before, like seeing animals in the clouds?). As it turns out, this was a fantastic recommendation. Sedaris goes from true story to true story, weaving humor and genuine intrigue and interest into easily consumable chapters that can all be read separately or on their own. If you enjoy humor but don't want to read "comics", or you really just want to read something fun, I definitely recommend this book. Even if you don't feel like committing to the whole thing, pick a few chapters and read ‘em!
