Re: currently reading?
David Sedaris: "Me Talk Pretty One Day" (2000, Bay Side Books). A few years old, but still mighty hilarious. Sedaris is at his best with personal essays rather than fiction, although his dry wit and sarcasm may blur the line between these anyway!
And off the shelf, an old favorite: J.D. Salinger: "Franny & Zooey" (Little Brown, 1957). Book one, a tight little story about being sick of ego, ego ego! and having yourself a little breakdown. Book two: Glass family self-help (the original Tannenbaums), and moving toward a state of peace and self understanding after said breakdown.
