Naked by David Sedaris

This may be one of the few nonfiction books that I really enjoyed. It tells the story of young Sedaris, who suffers from OCD. To him, his life is miserable if he can't roll his eyes until they hurt. All his life he was laughed at about his tics, and his Dad always threatened him if he didn't try to stop. His Mom had a good laugh trying to act out his tics in front of his teachers. I was able to read up to the part where Sedaris goes to college, and must hide his tics from his roommate. Overall, this book is incredibly hilarious, but unfortunately, I was not able to delve deep enough to get much out of the book.

    Saumik-
    Your blogs are GREAT. They are very thorough and really cover many different aspects of the book, including the plot, main characters, and background information on things such as the time period and setting of the book. Because of variety, your posts are interesting and enjoyable to read. You also make the books very appealing, and your blog as a whole has added multiple books to my list of books to read in the future. Nice job.
