**My Favorite Author is David Sedaris**.
== David Sedaris was born December 26, 1956. He is a Grammy Award nominated American humorist, essay writer and comedian. His work is always on the best sellers lists and he also contributes to National Public Radio broadcasts. His work is very autobiographical and often self-deprecating. He write about his family life, his middle class upbringing, his Greek heritage, the various jobs he’s worked and his life in France. ==

== David Sedaris is my favorite author because he is an everyman, he makes me laugh out loud while I read and he is of Greek origin. As a budding writer myself, Sedaris gives me hope that I too might become published someday. When I read something much like when I watch something I want to be entertained in a cerebral way. David Sedaris makes me laugh out loud when I am reading silently. People often give me dirty looks in the library due to this but all that matters is that I am entertained. Sedaris can be funny in a complicated pun using obscure references as well as when describing his boorish brother using a series of curse words loosely strung together. He can make his reader laugh in any context, whether it’s a joke about ancient Greece or the hair on his grandmother's chin. Lastly, I am of Greek origin as is Sedaris. Some of the stories he tells hold a greater significance for me because I can understand them from a more intimate level; us both being Greek and all.
