Freebie Friday: Little Billy's Letters
Just in time for the weekend, we've got another book to give away!
So congratulations, Andy Flacks, you've won John Banville's "The Infinities." I hope you enjoy it.
As I mentioned before, I've been re-reading Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere" ahead of my first ever book club meeting! I'm very excited, and I wanted to thank you all for your suggestions and voting. At this point, it looks like "The Help" is inching out "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," but I'll keep the jury out a little bit longer.
Next up, a little humor. Anyone who enjoyed "The Lazlo Letters" and "Letters from a Nut" is sure to love this latest book of pranks: "Little Billy's Letters: An Incorrigible Inner Child's Correspondence with the Famous, Infamous and Just Plain Bewildered," by Bill Geerhart. In it, he writes to President George H. W. Bush, Charles Manson, Tori Spelling and the Mormon Church.
So let us know what your reading, and have a few laughs on us.

Right now I'm reading Catnap a Midnight Louie Mystery by Carole Nelson Douglas. Talks about heat in Vegas, the kind of weather I want to hear about right now. Some of my favorite humor authors are James Thurber (My World and Welcome to It) and S.J. Perelman (Crazy Like a Fox) who also wrote for the Marx Brothers movies.

I'm reading Shadow Tag by Louise Erdrich. It's the first book I've read of hers, and it looks like I'm headed for more.

I am reading Sugar by Bernice L. McFadden. What a terrific book! Great storytelling! The author saw how much I liked The Help (another vote for here for that!) from a review I did and said I would enjoy her book if I enjoyed The Help. The timeframe is the same- mid 50's and deep in the segregation period, but unlike The Help, this story takes place in the actual neighborhood of the domestics.
