Go here: Amazon.com: david sedaris
Thanks for the reply. I had already checked Amazon and they all seemed like essays and short story compilations; which is all well and good, but I'd like to read something more substantial and lasting next.

Sedaris reminds me a bit of Chuck Palahniuk, in that both seem to write very well, but also delve into essays and short stories instead of longer works; though Palahniuk has written more novels and covers a much more grim/harsh reality.

I really enjoyed Me Talk Pretty One Day, but really want to read a novel next.. Perhaps I'll check out one of his other works regardless.. It would also be neat to see his dramatic piece about the mall elf working his way to the role of Santa; as I really like topics and thought processes that are on a different level than the more common stuff.
