In the middle of writing about pessimism, David Rakoff finds out that the burning pain in his shoulder, that pinched nerve...

... is a tumor. Here he is ? bald and hilarious ? talking about his book. Watch for the reference to the Roberts Court...

You can buy the book ? "Half Empty" ? here. I highly recommend the audio version. His reading style is very funny ? and also easy to sleep to (which is 2/3 of the reason why I buy audiobooks).

I discovered that book after watching David Sedaris on "The Daily Show" and going off to buy "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk" ? which you can buy here. Again, the audiobook is highly recommended ? but "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk" isn't easy to sleep to because it's tricked up with a lot of music... and also actors read some of the stories and actors try so hard. It's wakefulness-provoking.
