Which book are you currently reading?

I picked up When You Are Engulphed in Flames by David Sedaris a long time ago and just recently began reading it. Just like all of his other books, I am not dissapointed.

I love Dave Sedaris. Did you read "Me Talk Pretty One Day" ? His humor in it is just perfect.

I have his books on tape, with him reading them. It makes it that much more of a fabulous experience. Some of his earlier, less polished, more sarcastic stuff gets on my nerves a bit, but "Me Talk Pretty .. .", "Naked", "Dress Your Family. . ." and "When you Are Engulfed. . ." are incredible works. He has a very brilliant and unusual mind (he's a sick puppy!)

I sure did. I believe it was the first book of his that I read. I don't see how anyone can read that book and not go back for more.

Another good Scandinavian author is Per Olav Engquist - check those out!

Does he write mysteries, Randi? If not, what sorts of books? Is he Danish?

I looked on amazon.com to see if they had anything by him. All they had listed were a few reference books which mentioned novels by him.

So then I went to the Ann Arbor District Library's web site, and guess what.. there are LOTS of books by him there! Randi, can you suggest any in particular I might start with? Thank you!.

In honor of Dominick Dunne - who died yesterday - I just ordered three of his books....

I had just been thinking, what with all the Ted Kennedy news, that I want to reread "A Season in Purgatory." And now I think I'd like to reread more of his books.

phesina, I'm sorry... I was sleepy and mixed something up yesterday. However, Per Olav Engquist IS a good and well known autor. I just got a book by him that is called "The visit of the Royal Physician". I haven' had time to read it yet, but I'm sure it's good.

What I meant to say is... check out Sjowall & Wahloo! Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj%C3%B...hl%C3%B6%C3%B6
