Theft By Finding: Diaries 1977-2002

Theft By Finding: Diaries 1977-2002 by David Sedaris    528 pages

I can't get enough of David Sedaris' writing.   He is so clever and his take on life is so marvelous that it makes me sad to come to the end.   This book is a walk through his life with his take on the every day people and things he comes across and his reaction to the current events happening at the time which really puts his writing into perspective with the backdrop of what was taking place in the world from a historical level as he was writing in his diary.  He and his sister Amy are turned so much alike what one can't come up with the other does then they play off each other with hysterically funny outcomes.   When he relates stories of his Dad he imitates his father's speech so well you can picture the man saying the lines.   I recommend every book written by David Sedaris - he is like chocolate for the mind.  Sometimes a little deep, I would recoomend  these books for mature teenagers on up.
