Reddit reviews CivilWarLand in Bad Decline

David Sedaris has a collection of short stories, Barrel Fever, that is laugh-out-loud funny.

If you like short stories, George Saunders is brilliant.
CivilWarLand in Bad Decline is one of my favorite books. There are scenes in CivilWarLand that reduce me to giggling like a sugared-out 10-year-old.

Saunders' Pastoralia is a more subdued kind of humor, but still very enjoyable.

Short stories are my favorite thing to read so here's a big list for you...
