Christina Reviews *Me Talk Pretty One Day* by David Sedaris

         This book is funny.  The whole book is funny.  The title is funny.  David Sedaris is funny.

         I don’t know what else to say.

         I think my favorite chapter in this book is the first one.  It’s about how Sedaris had a lisp as a child and how he would adapt by talking in a stilted way so as to avoid words that included the letter S.  For example, his speech therapist would say, “And what do you do on December thirty-first, New Year’s Eve?”
        And he would say, “On the final day of the year we take down the pine tree in our living room and eat marine life.”

        The book's title isn’t a reference to the first chapter, but I did realize that saying, “Me Talk Pretty One Day” is a great way of avoiding the minefield that is, “I will speak well someday.”
