1-25-11 Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris - Fiction

3 - This is an amusing collection of very short stories that are modern day Aesop's fables. Sedaris uses his usual satiric and quirky sense of humor to create fables that confront modern day issues like the difference between ass licking and ass kissing. That's not quite as bad as it sounds since all the characters are animals. Plus the book has illustrations by Ian Falconer, best known for his children's books about Olivia the pig. A short diversion in the midst of my very different reading habits.
