Anyone read Christopher Moore?
I'm a big fan. I'll tell you more after others tell me if they've heard of him. He actually got me started on Chuck Palahniuk.

Daisy: Sweety. That young woman is going to give her heart to a nice young man who has reading glasses and a tweed jacket and who has never done blow off the belly of a dead prostitute.
Mason: I like her
Yeah, I"ve read all the novels he's written and enjoyed them all except Island of the Sequined Love Nun.

I started reading everything in Chris' Picks and that's when I stumbled on to Palahniuk. I've read everything by CM. My wife sent him some e-mail to ask if he grew up Catholic, and he actually e-mailed her back (he grew up Methodist, by the way). He's got a new book coming out this fall. The publisher has a "watch list" where you can sign up to get e-mail when their authors release new books, and Matt Ruff is on there, too. I haven't found anything like that for Chuck, but there's already been so much discussion about Stranger than Fiction and Hauntings anyway.
This is a really good idea.
I'm actually a mentee of CM I guess you could say. I've been chatting with him on his message board and through E-mail. He's supported me through Iraq this time and last. But like I said I can talk about anything with him. I consider him more of a teacher or something like that more than just a dude I'm a fan of.

What's coming out this fall? Is it the sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends, perhaps? Or is it the Christmas book (I think) that he's been working on?

Nevermind, I just checked his webpage. The Stupidest Angel. Can't wait.

I'm halfway through it right now. AWSOME stuff! Definitely a CM book not to be confused with anyone else.

Never heard of him but i'll check him out. Noted.
Just finished Sacre' Bleu, and it was a fun read. It's good to see him finally growing as a writer. This is the first book of his that I've read (maybe counting Lamb), that he puts the story before the jokes, which I think works pretty well.
i read Lamb, pretty good
