Boy finds 2 ft snake in cereal...honestly...

Enough with the _______ finds _______ in _________ stories


David Sedaris is very popular and one of my favorites. Publishers are keen to cash in on the Sedaris popularity from the look of the trade paperbacks on the table.

'the female southern David Sedaris'
'David Sedaris with more edge'
'like a ___________ David Sedaris'
'If David Sedaris wrote the Da Vinci code'
'What if David Sedaris had a Piper cub'


There is an excerpt from the forthcoming Hornby novel in the current issue of Best Life magazine. I was skeptical of the premise, but I found myself buying into the trademark Hornby wit and style.

There are Star Wars fans camping in front of the theatre near my home. Even though the tickets have been on sale for a while now. They claim they are doing it for charity, but I wonder how much sponsorship one can generate sitting on one's arse in front of a theatre for no good reason.

I heart Amy Sedaris.

How To Be Good has me skeptical too, but I read the hell out of that book.
