Christopher Moore is always a good option for alleviating pandemic stress

Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore

February 6, 2021 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

Many people have asked recently for reading recommendations for when you are just too stressed or tired to focus well. I’m not a social scientist, but I suspect the pandemic has something to do with the intense fatigue everyone is feeling, even when it comes to indulging in the joy of reading. Fortunately, Christopher Moore continues to write during these gloomy times. While every novel of his isn’t necessarily a winner, you can absolutely count on Moore to provide a pleasant diversion, even if the […]

More like lost lizard

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore

December 18, 2019 by octothorp Leave a Comment

Follow me on this one. Sometimes I’ll turn on the radio and I’ll hear a song that’s either Panic At the Disco or Fall Out Boy. The only way I’ll know which band it turns out to be is whether I like it. If I like it, it’s Panic At the Disco. If I don’t, it’s Fall Out Boy. The songs sound essentially identical, there’s nothing to differentiate them, I can’t tell them apart, they have one song type. But if I hear that song […]

Not my favorite Moore, but, serviceable humor: a resounding shrug.

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore

September 16, 2018 by ardaigle 2 Comments

I am a huuuuuge Christopher Moore fan. He won me with Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal. And, for that I am indebted to him because listing it as one of my favorite books is what led to my fiance messaging me on OkCupid. So, Moore, high five buddy. I have read a number of his other works and particularly adore the Pine Cove series and reread “The Stupidest Angel” every year for Christmas for the past 7 years. With all that said, […]

Lots of mugs, dames, and goons–not so much plot

Noir: A Novel by Christopher Moore

May 18, 2018 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

Christopher Moore loves language. That might be an odd claim to make about an author who popularized the term fuckstockings, but I’ll stand by it. If a guy rewrites Shakespearean plays with pornographic subplots he either has a deep and abiding passion for Elizabethan English or he’s a complete wack job. Now that I think about it, he’s probably both. Regardless, any time you pick up a novel by Moore, you can expect to have fun with words, and Noir is no exception. Noir is set in […]

Maybe not the right time for this one

Fluke by Christopher Moore

December 15, 2017 by Bothari43 3 Comments

This was pretty typical Christopher Moore: fun, a little bonkers, excellent supporting characters. Nate Quinn, a marine biologist trying to figure out why whales sing, his long-time friend and photographer Clay, and his grad student intern Amy have adventures in Hawaii, studying whales, recovering from mysterious sabotage efforts, and hiring a sketchy Rasta-wannabe Jersey boy as a crew member. When Nate sees “BITE ME” written on the underside of a whale’s tail (the fluke), it sets off a series of events that goes slowly but […]
