Let the Sedaris Family Entertain You...

If you haven't picked up multiple copies of the latest David Sedaris please do, otherwise there is an updated Holidays on Ice with six new stories, and you can get it on CD and pretend NPR is having a Sedaris-a-Thon as you play it over and over. Let's not forget Amy whose take on entertaining is now in paperback. (We included Wordy Shipmates by Sarah Vowell - technically not a Sedaris but a close NPR cousin. This time she tackles the Pilgrims.)
