1. I have recently discovered Christopher Moore
I read "Lamb" which was really great, and immediately after that I read "Fluke". He is laugh-out-loud funny.

2. Pick up his new one...
..."The Stupidest Angel." Raziel, the Angel from "Lamb" visits Pine Cove and all hell breaks loose.

My personal favorite is "Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story." I want to write the screenplay of that book.

4. Moore is screamingly funny.
"The Stupidest Angel" is his latest and well worth the read.

If you like Moore, you'd probably also like Tim Dorsey. Start with "Orange Crush".

5. Love Tim Dorsey!
Have only read Florida Roadkill and Hammerhead Ranch Motel so far, I'll have to pick up his other stuff soon.

Another one you may all like is Bill Fitzhugh. Pest Control is absolutely hilarious.

7. 'Nother fan here
My favorite is the Island of the Sequined Love Nun. That man is seriously demented--in the best way.

9. I have Lamb in my TBR pile. Been so busy I haven't read in ages.
But this time of the year, I don't expect to get much reading in. I will on Dec. 26. I hear nothing but huge raves on Moore's work and am dying to get to it.

11. I am now reading "Practical Demonkeeping,"
which would be the fourth book of his I've read.
I love his work.
