Wasn't as good as Me Talk Pretty One Day, but still a solid collection from Sedaris. Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls mostly focuses on Sedaris's travels but there are still some throwbacks to his childhood, which were my favorite. Attaboy, which begins with a modern-day citizen's arrest and ends with an eleven-year-old David's dad essentially holding a neighbor hostage with old ice cream, was one of my favorites. As was Memory Laps, which focused on David's inability to make his father proud (or at least get his father to say he was proud - two totally different things). There were also the classic crazy imaginary essays, like the one from the point of view of a straight married man who feels like his whole life has been a waste now that gay marriage was legalized - and naturally decides he must go on a murder spree. 
 Even the essays I didn't love still had laugh-out-loud moments. This collection just seemed a little flatter, or less memorable, than previous ones. That being said, Sedaris certainly hasn't lost his ability to find hilarity in the ordinary and to make readers rethink throwing trash out car the window or making the mistake of telling people you like owls.
