I'm a big fan of David Sedaris in certain doses and situations - I've seen him live, I've read his books, I like his additions to This American Life.
That said, I wasn't thrilled with Holidays on Ice. I've heard a number of these stories through This American Life so I'm familiar with them but there was something missing in the reading of them - maybe that something was David himself. I felt myself going through the motions reading this one. I read the entire book in a day (it's fairly short) and moved on. There wasn't a lot of interaction, I didn't laugh out loud (which I usually do with David Sedaris), there wasn't a lot to say.
I am, however, another book down on the way to 52!
