Query: 2 small books in one wrapper

I love David Sedaris's writing and performances, So I couldn't wait to read this book. And I wasn't disappointed -- it's laugh-out-loud funny. But I *was* puzzled. The first half and the second half are two entirely different books. I found myself wondering if Sedaris had simply glued together two unrelated pieces so he could make deadline, or capitalize on his success, or just get the book done already. Hmmm. Well, both halves are fun and funny, so the book as a whole is a good read. But I wish Sedaris had taken his time and fleshed out both essays so we could have two books instead of one.
