You absolutely MUST read this book: |
|
"Don't get too comfortable" by David Rakoff.
A gay-guy writer who is every bit as funny and to the point as David Sedaris or Dan Savage, and a Canadian who undertook US citizenship in in the Dark Days of Bush to boot.

A few people are getting it for christmas too. (lucky bastids) :D
He's so funny, so smart. He, like David Sedaris, is a This American Life contributor too. They snag all the funny guys, don't they?
And here's a fun fact: He's the voice of Thomas Jefferson in the audiobook version of The Daily Show's America: The Book.
Good catch, Redstone. :thumbsup:
edit: extra bonus thought added.

"Bastids" just seemed to fit for some reason.
edit: the brain is tired today.
