Calypso

Calypso by David Sedaris   272 pages

I love David Sedaris' books.  I find his last book and this one a little darker than his prior ones, though still absolutely hilarious.   The man can find the funny in anything.  In this one, he talks about his and his boyfriend, Hugh's house in Sussex, the beach house he bought for the family to share on the North Carolina coast, his sister Tiffany's suicide and how his sister Amy had a session with a psychic who channeled their mother and their sister Tiffany and the strangely spot on information she gleaned.    There are loads more topics Sedaris shares his ingenuos wit and humor on,  how his boyfriend's mother contradicts everything he says, "Oh that didn't happen!" and funny phrases heard when the family is together that they adopt as their own and use every chance they get in conversations with one another.   Such funny stuff I want him to continue sharing his views with the world because I love his stories so much.   I would recommnend this and every book by David Sedaris to middle-schoolers on up.   Some things are a little abover their grade level, but, so funny they might as well learn.    10 Stars in the reading galaxy.
