I have this book...just one of the many on my shelf that I haven't gotten to read yet. I was recently given Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, which is on my night stand. I've read about 20 pages...haven't had much time for reading as of late, but when I have a few minutes before shut-eye, I do find it amusing. BUT! Go get yourself the most recent issue of "Artful Blogger" (I know...it's not a book for some easy reading pleasure.an east coast (soon to be western) familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03581326751469419617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026788224628586941.post-79115559444427464272009-11-30T05:13:18.272-08:002009-11-30T05:13:18.272-08:00Great to get the book review.

Odd name, I know, but it was a great story.

That one is truly laugh-out-loud hilarious, and seasonally appropriate as it starts and ends around the holidays.<br><br>I liked 'Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress' by Dai Sijie, also hilarious although not a hilarious topic - the Chinese cultural revolution, he finds the funny in the situation, the characters are great.<br><br>Right now I have just started 'Kitchen Confidential' by Anthony Bourdain, naughty AND hilarious, a double winner.<br><br>The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books, if you've read some read the newest ones, if you've never read them start with the first book - they are so charming and sweet, funny characters too, definite giggles involved.<br><br>None of these are new books, but so much the better - you can get the paperback version at the bookstore, order cheap from Amazon, or borrow from the library.Sue McGettiganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18006807015011119262noreply@blogger.com
