Just finished
Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris this morning. I've been wanting to read his modern-day Aesop-like fables for a while now. Found it at Books-a-Million and picked up a copy for myself instead of borrowing it from the library. (A little Happy 40th Birthday present to me!) This is definitely an adult book, so please take my advice and if you're not at least 21, don't read it. ;) You probably wouldn't get the tongue-in-cheek humor anyway. And that's what makes Sedaris such a humorist...his subtlety. And I love Ian Falconer's illustrations. You may recognize him from the
Olivia children's books. I've included two of the illustrations from this book below. They are perfect!
I'll definitely treat myself to another of his books.
This marks the 86th book I've read this year. I'm disappointed that I've let "life" distract me from reaching my goal of 100. I've decided that I'll catch up in 2012. Which means, that my resolution is to read 113 books in 2012. Whew! Better get started!
Happy Reading! And Happy New Years to you all.
