| 1. |  | A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father from St. Martin's Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  If you have read Burrough's other memoirs, you will find this to be a big departure as it lacks the acerbic wit of the others. Unfortunately, without the humor, Burrough's writing is flat, dull, and unbearably boring. Here we have another "poor me," memoir written by a writer who has made millions... |

| 2. |  | I Was Told There'd Be Cake from Riverhead Trade Price: $11.20 Customer Review:  "I Was Told There'd Be Cake" is a collection of essays by Sloane Crosley. She touches on every subject from childhood obsessions with Oregon Trail to the horrendous experience of moving in Manhattan and just about everything (including the kitchen sink). She can take the simplest of... |

| 3. |  | Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea from Simon Spotlight Entertainment Price: $16.47 Customer Review: If you can read this book without constantly laughing out loud, you have no sense of humor. This book is great! |

| 4. |  | Me Talk Pretty One Day from Back Bay Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: This is Sedaris' best collection of short stories/memoirs/autobiographies. His writing is wonderful, in part because it's hard to separate fact from fiction. He has a true gift for writing. My favorite story is the title one but all are great. These stories are great to read all at once or one at a... |

| 5. |  | Naked from Back Bay Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review:  The short stories were nicely written, drawing on the presumed real life experiences of the author. As an author of humour, I found the style too self-consciously witty and trying to hard to be hilarious. In short, I found it tedious and barely raised a smile, let alone a chuckle and certainly not a... |

| 6. |  | The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62) from Ecco Price: $14.27 Customer Review:  What a wonderful read and a group of characters that tie you in to a story with the most unfortunate and ill-perceived ending. I, as other reviewers, do not mind a tragic ending, but too much of the novel's mystique that carries you through is left unanswered and unfinished. I am truly unsatisfied... |

| 7. |  | Leave the Building Quickly: True Stories (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I loved this book. I thought it was witty and funny and a great read to relax with and just enjoy. I wish it were longer.. I didn't want to finish it. |

| 8. |  | My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands from Bloomsbury USA Price: $10.17 Customer Review: As Chelsea's first book, it was ok, but it was not as good as her latest one, "Hello Vodka, It's Me Chelsea". If you are going to read them both, read this one first and then Hello Vodka. If you read it, the other way around, you may be disappointed. |

| 9. |  | Bright Shiny Morning from Harper Price: $17.79 Customer Review: I hate this book. I don't say this very often. I've read thousands of books in my life, from Burgess to Bradbury, from Starship Troopers to The Sun Also Rises. But I have never had cause to hate a book before. I truly despised Bright Shiny Morning. The feeling it left me with was disjointed despair.... |

| 10. |  | Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim from Back Bay Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: I've loved every one of Sedaris' books, and just fininshed re-reading this one. I felt like some good laughs, and his books really deliver. Sometimes a "yikes" rather than a laugh, but always an impact. I have yet to find anyone than has the wit and style and ability to fascinate as well as produce... |
