Books on CD and David Sedaris

Recently I noted that humorist, writer, bestselling author and radio contributor, David Sedaris, is going to speak in Los Angeles at Royce Hall on April 29th. http://www.uclalive.org/ This reminded me that I needed a couple of good books on CD to break up that long drive I'll be making to Phoenix shortly. And then I thought better of it because it's just too funny for a car trip. Much of Sedaris' humor is autobiographical and concerns family life in middle class suburbia and his life in France. While I listened to Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, I had to pull over for fear of laughing too hard and losing it. 'Depends' just aren't my style. Hence, I'm taking a French classic and non-fiction along for the ride.
