Naked.

Bubbles and Cheeky asked me about the book Naked.. So glad they ask..cos this gave me something to talk about. i am running out of things to blog! hehehe

I got "Naked" in year 2002 and have only started reading it a few days ago!
Actually, i read it before ... but stopped reading it in Nov 2002! I was at page 125 then! The problem with me is that i keep buying books but never finish or start reading them...till like years later!

Anyway... back to the book...

First things first.. It's NOT Porn. Sorry guys.. hahaha

It's only 291 pages thick. I am at page 31. hehe. I read a few pages in the train everyday.. So don't expect a good review from me. :D

Anyway.. so far, it is really funny. There are times when i find myself laughing (not too loudly i hope) while reading it in the train. David Sedaris, the author, wrote about his life as a kid..and his family. He's gay by the way.. just thought you wanted to know. He wrote about it in Naked.
Here's an excerpt from it. Can't wait to read that chapter!

I also have his other book "Me Talk Pretty One Day" which i have read half-way (again!). This book is very funny too. I just love his humour! I remembered i kept laughing when i was reading it. His viewpoints on life is so true! and funny!

Er.. that's all.. told you it's not a good review hehehe. For better reviews, please check out amazon.co.uk. hehehe

I hope you'll get the chance to read some of David Sedaris' books.
Oh if you happen to see this girl reading "Naked" and laughing in the train, it's probably me. :D

hi fat finger, is it only available online? Spore bookstores have or not? need some funny books to lift up my spirits....

defy_angel : Borders should have it. I saw "Me talk pretty one day" at borders before. Naked should be available in borders. If you can't find it there, you can ask them to order it for you. :) Have fun reading!
