Dysfunction, stupidity and hypocrisy are just some of the themes explored in this hilarious collection of essays culled from Sedaris' books, including Barrel Fever and Other Stories and Naked. Topics range from riotous tales of the Sedaris family to the author's pathetic attempts to learn French. Retailing at $80, the box set is an investment, but one that pays dividends. If you buy it, you'll likely listen to it again and again. Just don't lend it to anyone, or you may never get it back.

Starting with his deadpan, disarmingly funny pieces on NPR and continuing with his collections of short fiction and essays, David Sedaris is one of the best, sharpest humorists writing today. His quirky history and family are rich material, but he's also just as hilarious simply satirizing Christmas cards or mocking his own vices.
