This is the best book of the decade. It can make anyone laugh at least a little bit no matter what your sense of humor. And that's what makes the world go 'round.

This book is hilarious and a great gift for your witty friend who likes to entertain! I gave it to a friend who has actually tried to recreate some of the crafts in this book. Sedaris is a comedic powerhouse, it is clearly genetic. She has her own style and her own passion for crafting and feasting!
