Books: When You Are Engulfed in Flames
Why I am recommending this book:
David Sedaris is one of the funniest, freshest and wisest writers today. I can't read his essays or listen to him speak without laughing out loud from the sheer recognition of my own mundane and human experience. He makes me feel like I'm not "the only one".
David captures humanity and allows us the opportunity to connect with our own humanity and celebrate our precious vulnerability.

"David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art," (The Christian Science Monitor) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this remarkable new book.
Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of associations takes him from the French countryside to a hilariously uncomfortable memory of buying drugs in a mobile home in rural North Carolina. In essay after essay, Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds-to the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic writing from "a writer worth treasuring" (Seattle Times).
