I adore Sedaris--and I'm encouraged to hear that you enjoyed
Engulfed in Flames because several die-hard Sedaris fans have been less than thrilled. Even though I planned to read it months ago, I'm hoping for the summer now--when school's "out" (lol).

It's very cool that the amount of paranormal books these days are rising (since it used to be very difficult to find a decent and well researched book years ago).
What I'm reading:
*student papers
*my writing
*(for class, re-read) Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" (freaky!)
*job announcements
