I'm about halfway through When Engulfed in Flames. My feelings on it are mixed so far.
Since you asked, here's what I thought of 'Engulfed in Flames' - http://areyougenehackman.blogspot.com/2008/06/all-beauty-you-will-ever-need.htmlI just got through this audiobook. Surprisingly serious, reflective and not insane.
I haven't read it, but I have the audiobook. It seemed to mark a new maturity for Mr. Sedaris.
I've been re-reading all my Chris Ware stuff. Got into the first Rusty Brown last night. That dream scene in Jimmy Corrigan where he has to shoot his tiny horse make me sob every time.

I picked up a copy of "Vital Lies, Simple Truths: The Psychology of Self-Deception" after yesno mentioned it in the thread about "New Hope for the Ape Eared."
