It seems reading is currently a thing I do to get to sleep or wake up. But that's a good start when I couldn't read books post-covid.
David Sedaris writes books that are pleasant, humourous and relaxing to read. He basically exaggerates his life. I read this because I found it in our house. -

The Hem of His Garment
'I thought that the e-mailed invitation was spam. “Nice try, Russia,” I said to my laptop screen. But the Pope really did want to meet with comics and humorists.'

Weird question, but does anyone have a connection to David Sedaris? A friend saw him and said this:
"When we saw David Sedaris, it was a good event, but he did say one thing that I was ITCHING to correct. He talked about how he and his friend carved their initials into a box turtle's shell when they were children. He also said that it didn't hurt the turtle because 'they don't have sensory nerves in the shell'. This is absolutely FALSE. Their shells are made of living tissue, mostly bone, and they are able to feel when they are even being gently touched.
I wish I knew how to contact him to educate about this!"
I don't know who he is, beyond "an author", but if someone would pass on the note, it would mean a lot. ty
