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.

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.

Dietrich pays homage to the Florida area where he grew up. Each story is interesting and attention getting. Enjoyed every word.

A great look at the history of the Memphis Zoo. Great pictures and tons of info found here!

Susan Wiggs does it again! A great story to get caught up in.

My daughter loves this book. We always have to read it over and over again.

His books are interesting,, easy to read, and take you on a journey that might even touch your own life.

This book follows very closely along with the first season of True Blood with the exception of the characters Tara and Jessica being absent. Like the show, features great cast of characters well drawn from the outset. The book is told in first person from Sookie's perspective, so you get an even better sense of her point of view than in the show. The audiobook is especially well done in terms of Sookie's accent, attitude, etc.

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.

If it is written by Neil Gaiman you should read it. His books have fun, fantasy, and are well written with interesting characters! This book does not disappoint!
