Naked - David Sedaris

So, first off, this author is hilariously funny. He is a really witty writer in that he'll just be chugging along about regular stuff and BAM hit you with something that makes you laugh out loud. He's truly gifted, and I wish I could be friends w/ him. He grew up in Raliegh, so I'm holding out hope.

Here's a fun quote for my Nittany Lion friends and fam:

I was beside the pool when a black man, speaking to Dusty, mentioned he had two sons at Penn State.
'That's tough,' Dusty said. 'I've got a nephew in prison myself and I know what you're going through. When are your boys getting out?'

He pretty much creates the most elaborate and outrageous characters and does it in a way you can totally picture. The name of the book comes from the last chapter which is about his vacation at a nudist trailer park (they don't call it a colony because it is too "spooky").

I really appreciate his style. Not sure what I'm reading next...but I hope it's good too!
