This is a classic work of essays by Bryson told in his inimitable style. Is a unique perspective on American life after his having lived in UK for 20 years. Witty and insightful. Somewhat dated to the 90s.

Its a cute little book that kids can learn from.

solid follow up to the first Sookie Stackhouse book. Features many of the events of true blood season 2 but in condensed form.

Another funny story featuring Miss Julia. This series is funny, touching, and just a good read.

This book makes for a good read for a summer trip. You can breeze through it very quickly. I particularly recommend the audio book for hearing the author's narrative view. Well structured to draw reader into the author's anxiety/plight brought on by this friendship.

This memoir reflects a lot of the joie de vivre and personality you'll see of Van Ness in his tv and social media appearances but also deals with a lot of tough topics with a lot of honesty and flair, including sexual abuse, STIs, addiction, and so on--which may be surprising to some readers and/or difficult for them to hear. Audiobook especially good.

Classic book of essays covering his family life, years as struggling artist working odd jobs, and, as the title suggests, his time in France and attempts to learn the language. Witty, self-deprecating. Sedaris' audiobooks recommended to get a sense of his personality.

Fun read with interesting characters. Enjoyed.

Delightful YA novel that is significantly better than the movie. Gives a lot of insight into the character Simon, who is even more likable here b/c he is less manipulative. Gives much more depth into the relationship of Simon and his pen pal Blue.

Amy Engel writes a really good mystery. Her characters, like Eve, have grit and gumption. She relys on herself to find her daughters killer.
