I like authors like David Sedaris because they are flawed and neurotic and they make you feel okay about being flawed and neurotic. Reading about her perfection only makes me worry that I haven't yet rolled over my 401K.

Worst of all, her insights into self-help books are shallow and trite. "Dr. Phil is crazy!" "Cleaning is hard when only one person is doing it!" This would probably be decent airplane reading, but you can otherwise skip it.]]>
