It sounds like a fun read, but I am not sure I am the target audience, and I may get bored as well.

I heard it was like David Sedaris!!! I still have it on my TBR bookshelf so I'm sorry to hear it didn't quite live up to your expectations.

The author works in the publishing industry if I remember correctly. <br /><br />I am not a fan of essays or short stories. I need to be taken away and short stuff doesn't do it for me.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687620527201679249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-49232499330543320742009-09-18T21:55:32.491-04:002009-09-18T21:55:32.491-04:00I've heard similar things from most other blog...I've heard similar things from most other bloggers who took this one out for a spin.
