Question: Tell Me Books I Should Read!?
Don't Like - Harry Potter,Lord of the Rings,Romance,Fantasy or Sci Fi
I Like - Black Comedy, Fiction, basically books someone with a sense of humor/personality similar to a male Daria or Jane (from daria) or Janeane Garofalo would like
I am a 23 year old Male so please something close to age appropriate and gender appropriate!.
I have a dry and sarcastic sense of humor!.I also want books on the more unconventional side, because I get bored with the same old thing all the time!.I also want something that is a bit of an easy read because I have a short attention span but not too easy or I'd get bored with it!.However I also want something that isn't too predictable because I don't like things I can see the ending a mile away!.
Just finished Reading - Ella Minnow Pea, The MezzanineWww@QuestionHome@Com

You will totally love Christopher Moore!. His twisted sense of humor is one of a kind!. Start with Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal!.
also Carl Hiaasen!. My favorite is Nature Girl!.
I've just finished Tim Sandlin's Honey Don't!. It was a good one too (actually a recomendation from Ch!. Moore blog)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Wild Fire by Nelson Demille
He's written quite a few books that use the same character!. They are smart and quirky, entertaining, very laugh out loud!. Spy type stuff but all have gripping storylines!. Look up Wild Fire on amazon!. His books are bestsellers!. I've read all of them!. I actually think they are mostly written for the male reader!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I loved "Ella Minnow Pea!." Clever!.
It's not fiction, but I'm wondering if you would like "Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer!." It's about an Alabama football fan who followed the team around for a year in an old RV!. It's hysterical!. I'm not a huge football fan and not a fan of Alabama in particular, but this book is too much!. I laughed til I was nearly sick!. I'd recommend it for just about anyone!. It's by Warren St!. John, who writes for the NYT!.
You might enjoy any of the mysteries by Tim Dorsey!. He's a bit like Elmore Leonard, twisted, dark, hysterically funny!. Great stories, all set in Florida, eccentric characters!. Wonderful!. Some of the titles are Triggerfish Twist, Orange Crush, Torpedo Juice!. Check him out at http://www!.timdorsey!.com/home!.html
If you haven't read Elmore Leonard, you might enjoy him!. "Get Shorty" was one of his books made into a movie!. Great characters, crazy story lines, fun to read!.
Hope this helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com
