Me Talk Pretty One Day

Greta welcomed us into her beautiful new home for our meeting about David Sadaris' book.  Special guest Ava (minus two teeth) rested on the couch upstairs, while we ladies gathered around the massive dining table for bacon wrapped chicken, kale salad, and fruit.

After pouring the wine, Queen Greta seated herself at the head of the table in her royal throne, and the dining commenced.

Points of Discussion:

• Greta chose the book because she wanted to read something hilarious, but we all had different opinions about how funny this book really was.  We do all agree that it's much funnier when read aloud.  Especially when Nancy reads it aloud.
• We discussed what role exaggeration played in his writing, and eventually determined that we all have enough funny personal anecdotes to write a book just like this.
• Some of us felt as if we still didn't really know much about the author after reading the book.  It's as if his stories, although deeply personal, actually revealed little about his true self. "I don't know you, but I get you."
• Erin brought up the date of publication and the interesting context clues that pointed to that time period in his writing.

Fun Facts:
I'm feeling a bit warm…oh no, and now I'm blushing!  And at the dinner table…how embarrassing.
Coming soon on You Tube- Nancy reads David Sedaris.  It'll be an overnight sensation!
Erin does a spot on impersonation of Marisa Tomei
On a tangential note, don't forget that Unitarism is to Christianity as Sufism is to Islam.  There will be a test.

Emily, a local townswoman, is delighted just to sniff the peaches at the Queen's table.
