BOOK #29

A 'loser' pilot crashes his boss' pink Gulfstream jet while having sex with a hooker. That pretty much sums up the first few pages of this book. And of course, the pink Gulfstream jet belongs to a Mary Kay type of character.

This book is a great romp of nostalgia, cults, sex, talking bats, a transvestite and organ harvests. Intrigued? You should be. Christopher Moore is one of my favorite writers. Although his last two books didn't do IT for me - I keep reading. This book was from '97 and he must have totally been in his humor groove. The two best books of his (for me) have been "Fluke or I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings (he had to have been stoned to write this one) and "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" (we read this in book club).

If you have a sense of humor, find some of his books and drag 'em poolside. It's rare to find him at PBS or Half Price books. You may have to buy or check out. But do it soon!
