You Suck: A Love Story
Christopher Moore

Nosferattitude

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove
Christopher Moore
Harper Paperbacks, 2004
Christopher Moore
+ You did WHAT with the weedwhacker?
+ Move over Saphira, here comes Steve!
The author hasn't written a bad book yet. Completely amusing and the characters are well developed as normal everyday people. Very relatable. If a regular person ended up in the situations the characters do, they would react the same. Lust Lizard is one of my favorites.
