Davids Rakoff and Sedaris with Don Watson on Friday were a real highlight – I had no idea Watson was such a wit.
So many things to go to...

Augusten Burroughs is a real storyteller and has what's known as 'the gift of the gab'. Seeing him at both the First Tuesday Book Club screening, and then his keynote address on Friday, made me want to read his books – and his brother's.

I am excited about Augusten too :-)
I actually think Augusten should write a book about his brother. His books are good, his brother's book is good, but Augusten on his brother (judging from the keynote speech) is him at his best. Really funny - and warm - stuff.
Angela, I like your blog run-down of the Burroughs a lot.
Is this Jo Case? If so, I like your Readings blog of the Rakoff session! See you around next weekend :-)
Hi Angela! Yes, it is. And I just remembered that THIS is where I'd commented on your Augusten blog. (And thanks. I thought he was fab - my favourite discovery of the festival, I think.) Catch you around.
