    I know, it's definitely one of my favorites. Out of all the essays though..I think the one about his sister Amy and the fat suit is my favorite. I seriously laughed out loud in class, so embarrassing, but it's freaking HILARIOUS.

    Omigosh it IS. Sedaris is one of the few authors who can make me laugh so hard that I literally have to stop reading so i can try and wipe the tears away and breathe again XD

    I'm reading Sprout by Dale Peck.
    It's really confusing, I think it would be better suited as a film than a book...there's so much description, confusing scene changes and flashbacks that it kind of gets in the way of the content.
    From what I can read without getting lost, it seems to be good though...just needs to be on stage or screen...

    I read that in an English class I took last year, it was pretty interesting, but easy to get lost in.

    I'm reading Life by Keith Richards.

    I'm going to head to the library tomorrow to check out Pride & Prejudice and A Separate Peace (although I've read them). I'm also going to check out Wuthering Heights and possibly some more books by the Brontë sisters.

    House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

    Love the way this book is written. It's spooky but it has some real sweet moments too.

    I loved Guilty Pleasures and the first five books in the series. Wonderfully written and funny.

    However, I didn't like that she turned it basically into a trashy romance series after that :/. Not my thing. But it's up to you if you want to read the rest, I can only give you a recommendation.
