i dont know what to call this

My expectations of this book, to be honest, are quite slim. I know that this book is a collection of essays written by David Sedaris. I've skimmed through a couple of essays, they seem kind of funny. As far as the author goes, I know that he is gay, Greek- American, writer and speaker. I've read his works before, in past language arts calsses.

I don't particularly think of myself as having a specific taste in books, I've read a wide variety but its hard to rank their genres in any order. The last good book I read, or am actually currently reading, is The Autobriography of Malcolm X.

I chose this book over the other available options simply because nothing else seemed interesting. This doesn't mean that I don't want to read this one, but that I've been exposed to David Sedaris before, and I'd rather stick to what I know, so I don't find myself reading a terrible book.
