I tried to read it with appropriate pauses, as if I was hearing David Sedaris deliver it (some of the stories read smoother than others). Shana - my favorites are the one you mentioned, SantaLand, and Dinah the Christmas Whore. I think I like these because they aren't over-the-top (I can imagine these things really happening, and Sedaris puts a great spin on them) Thanks to all who viewed and commented on my Teaser … yes, I enjoyed the book (review to come …).

My teaser is from "Double Fault" by Lionel Shriver. (I've not been making much headway in it because I've been blogging so much...shame on me): "She didn't kiss him good night. Willy had been nervous whether her family would like Eric. She hadn't thought to worry that they'd like him too much." I've loved both Lionel Shriver books I've read previously (The Post-Birthday World and We Need To Talk About Kevin) and this one is good so far but I'm barely in. It is about tennis and a marriage and what tennis does to that marriage. By the way, I ADORE David Sedaris and just ordered "Holidays On Ice" from my book swap club! ooohh.. this is fun!
