"Waiting On" Wednesday - Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls

"Waiting On"  Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm waiting on... 

Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris

* Book will be released April 23, 2013

Check out the description from Barnes & Noble:

"A new collection of essays from the #1 New York Times bestselling author who has been called the preeminent humorist of his generation" (Entertainment Weekly).
From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new book of essays taking his readers on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten."

Sedaris is hilarious and his books always make me actually laugh out loud.  I love reading essays/short stories because they can be devoured all at once or you can take your time with them.  The variety in these collections is a lot of fun and I know they'll always be interesting, intriguing, or really make me think.
