I started reading David Sedaris's Naked today, and I'm almost done! What a quick and fun read. (First edition paperback, Back Bay, I believe a former imprint of Little, Brown. Under 300 pages.)

The other Sedarises (Sedari?) are so, so funny. And David is so, so great. Oh geez. How come I'd never picked up one of his books before? I've listened to several of his audiobooks, which I can also recommend.

Anyhoo, this copy of Naked is pretty beat up. I've carted it from Boston and the cover's a little crinkled and a tiny amount of front pages have come unglued from their binding.

Since I don't think I can swap this book on Swaptree.com in such a state, I was wondering if anyone would want it? It's still totally readable! I swear. I just can't stand to throw it away, you know? How's about the first person who comments can get the hook-up?

BTW, I'm not, like, clearing house in preparation for a sudden death or anything. I just like sharing books and stuff.

Fair enough! I'm in a mood for new books at the moment, and have heard good things about the Sedaris books.

Dang bitch, you faaaaaast. :D Consider it saved for you. I'm going to be back in the city next week; let's get together for coffee or sumthin'.

Oh, and I may or may not have dripped some Coke Classic in Chapter One. Uh, sorry.

You just made me flail because of your Paul Bettany icon.

What can I say? I liked "M&C". Mainly for the sailing shenanigans.

Cool that you like it! I gave it to my bf for christmas and now it´s tempting me, standing there on the bookshelf... there is a rule that when you give away a book to your partner you mustn´t read it before him, right?
I love his little stories on 'This American Life'. Have you heard the one where he´s in the morgue?
