Join My Book Club!
I started a book club for myself and my friends to prove I’m not a complete dumbass…we’ll see how it goes. We’re known as “The Bookies” which is mildly confusing because it sounds like we want you to place a bet.
Anyway, each member will pick one new book each month for the rest of us to read. I have no idea what my friends tastes in books are, so I apologize in advance if they suck. Please feel free to read along with us and let us know what you think of our picks.
Our February pick was choosen by my friend, Candice, and she picked “Lamb” by Christopher Moore.
Here’s a short synopsis of the book:
The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years — except Biff, the Messiahs best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work “reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams” (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Saviors pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there’s no one who loves Josh more — except maybe “Maggie,” Mary of Magdala — and Biff isn’t about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight
Sounds good, right? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of it!
