Amazon were kind enough to write to me this morning with the subject line:
Amazon.co.uk recommend you Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim and more
As I opened it, I wondered what the more could be. Sequins?
At least, I thought they’d started dishing out fashion tips until I realised that I’d inserted an extra “you” in there. Dammit.
Shame, really, because I quite like the possibility that the merry pranksters at Amazon could start throwing together life-coaching emails based on books and music with imperative titles. This list of bossy song titles is a good starting point.
All kidding aside, I also recommend Sedaris’s book, along with Me Talk Pretty One Day and Naked if you haven’t already read them. If you don’t already know it, there is an empty part of you that can never be filled with anything else because it is specifically reserved for David’s special brand of creative nonfiction.
You’re absolutely right - I’ve read everything he’s published, with glee!
