To give you all a little better idea of the kind of person I am, here are the books I have read (or am going to read) since I graduated in December and regained my reading time:
Fig. 1: The first book I read once I was free. It was awesome, as Sedaris always is.
Fig 2: The second book I read.
Fig 3: And then I read some girly stuff.
Fig 4: Then I switched to some social neuroscience.
Fig 5: And back to the girly stuff I'm currently reading. I love this show but they're cancelling it. :(
Fig 6: This is what I intend to read next.
Am I strange enough for ya, or what? ;)

not strange, but awesome :).
If you like Sedaris, have you read Augusten Burroughs? I think he's an even better writer than Sedaris, in the same vein of personal revelation.
Thanks, PD!
OMG, CPP - I LOVE Augusten Burroughs. He is one of my all-time favorite writers ever. I've read every single one of his books several times and he even has his own shelf in my personal library.
I like Sedaris a lot, but I think the only reason he's more popular than Burroughs is because he's more easily digested by the general public.
But as you know about me already, I love crude, foul language and off-color subject matter so Burroughs is right up my alley!
so what are your thoughts on these books? i think you have an interesting selection.
when i graduate, i'm totally doing the same thing and digging in with some good recreational reading material.
I don't see any Sarah Blaffer Hrdy on the list...just kidding! Looks like fun.
Burroughs's book about his father was staggeringly good.
I agree, but it was definitely a departure from his usual stuff.
"Dry" is still my favorite. I've never laughed and cried so much while reading a book.
