It might as well have been a squirrel telling me the story

Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore

Seems I’ve gotten myself into a bit of a rut. I tried reading Nick Offerman’s Where the Deer and the Antelope Play, but had to abandon it due to sheer boredom. Then I thought returning to Christopher Moore would be a fun palette cleanser after that, only to wind up with a bit of a brain fog that kept me from being able to focus on the book. So it was a good while before I finally managed to plug my way through the whole […]

Funny but a little bit dated in LGBTQ+ depiction

CBR 13 Bingo: Self Care and Bingo #3!- I listened to this book while taking my daily health stomps to take care of myself. Rarely do my book reviews elicit any reactions or comments on my Facebook page but my review of Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal had multiple friends commenting how much they love Christopher Moore and the next book I need to read is Practical Demonkeeping. So once I completed listening to the Dresden Files short stories, I used the […]

A hilarious and cheeky take on who Jesus (Joshua) was growing up, before becoming the Messiah

CBR13 Bingo Square: Pandemic – I highly recommend reading this during a pandemic, the laughs were needed! No disrespect to Christopher Moore but had I not procrastinated I would have seen Jenny Lawson in conversation with either Felicia Day or Neil Gaiman for her Broken (in the best possible way) promotion. However, I’m grateful I did as this was my first event with Moore and he was highly entertaining! Lawson shared that Lamb is her favorite book by him which instantly put it on my […]

Unsavory Lamb

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

cbr13bingo / Shelfie Sitting on my shelf for many a year, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal is a humorous and disappointing novel about Jesus’ life by Christopher Moore. Jesus’ childhood friend Biff—born Levi—is resurrected and commanded by a soap-opera loving angel to write an account of Jesus’ life before the age of 30. Biff is indignant that he is never mentioned in the New Testament and strives to fill out the missing story. Jesus—called Joshua in the book—is an adolescent when the […]

Christopher Moore is always a good option for alleviating pandemic stress

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

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 […]

narfna on “And that very same evening—that very same evening—Lord Edgware dies. Good title that, by the way. Lord Edgware Dies. Look well on a book stall.”That's gotta be the new headcanon.
