That is a very apt description. It's crazy, right? The first time I read it, I read the whole thing in one sitting and was like, "what just happened?". lol.

I wish my life had more time for leisurely reading than it currently does, but when I can sneak it in, I'm reading through "A Darker Wilderness: Black Nature Writings from Soil to Stars". It's a collection of essays and is really excellent.
My all-time favorite book that I recommend to anyone and everyone that likes weird stuff is "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn. The geek here isn't your modern nerd/dork/etc, but rather the classic carnival geek. It's the most unique, way out there weird and wild story ever. I read it about once a year.

Happy April!!
In the United States we say, "April showers bring May flowers." While bunnies are hatching and flowers are blooming, I realize that not everyone in the world is in the spring season. So what question could I ask that is universally enjoyed during this time of year? BOOKS! No matter what the season, a good book is what's up. So I ask:
What book(s) are you reading right now? Or what book(s) would you recommend. If you're in parent mode and only reading children's books, let me know which ones you actually enjoy reading over and over.
I'll go first. I really love mysteries and lately I've been reading the Peter Diamond mystery series by Peter Lovesey. I love the sense of humor in the series and there are always a bunch of red herrings which keep me wanting to read more.
What about you? Can't wait to add these to my book list!
