Where does Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The funniest collection of readings I have heard, ever.What other book might you compare Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls to, and why?
David Sedaris is unique in his quirky and wry view of life. Unlike other semi-autobiographies where you are taken through the chronological order of a noteworthy or tragic life, David Sedaris' collection of essays allows you to light like a butterfly on the fleeting moments of significance in his, sometimes poignant but more often trivial, life. Instead of observing, we share his awkward and gauche acts, secretly believing that we are imperfectly wonderful too.Which scene did you most enjoy?
There are so many moments to enjoy. The need to clear out the junk of unwanted gift collections, "this is what happens when you tell someone you like something...nothing stems the tide of crap," is one we are all familiar with but perhaps not one with so many humorous outcomes as Sedaris' owl collection. The salacious taxidermist showing his collection of body parts is both shocking and fascinating at once and Sedaris simple dares to say what we all think - or at least hope we would on a really, really smart day.If you think the trivia of someone's life, the minutia of their day, their thoughts and their relationships is not enough then Sedaris has even more. Writing in the voice of the mad in the way only Americans can be, the final selection of stories will have you crying with laughter. The homophobic mother whose gay son encourages her to wear a T-Shirt with initials he assures her stand for Another Savvy Senior Hopes Obama Loses Everything and the Dahl-like poem in homage to dogs will leave you desperate for more.
Luckily, there are lots more. Lots and lots more.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Laugh, think and love this life in all its infinite triviality.Enjoy spluttering in public and laughing out loud?
