I'm gonna catch a David Sedaris reading next month - the venue is going to be an opera house... pretty interesting. Anyone caught any of his appearances in this tour?

David Sedaris is awesome in person. I attended a booksigning and discussion of his but I'm sure an opera house is a much more interesting venue.

David Sedaris is at the very top of my short list.
James Thurber is essential.
Mark Twain, timeless.
If I could give you four, I'd include Terry Pratchett.
Plus Leonard Q. Ross.
Chuck Palahniuk for dark, disturbing humor.

Mark Twain. Steinbeck, for Tortilla Flats and Cannery Row, And John Kennedy Toole for A Confederacy of Dunces.

Silly question: ask me for a top 50 or even a top 20 list and I might begin to narrow down the list--with difficulty. Top 3? Impossible.
