Moore Lamb Please

Let’s take a break from emails in which I:  1) Complain about being stuck in the land of no Cheetos  and 2)  Post a million pictures of myself doing things (cause we all know how much fun it is to look through someone else’s trip pictures.  But don’t think you’re off the hook.  I’ve got one of these posts coming too) .

I’ve had loads of time to read lately (being stuck in, oh wait, no complaining) and I’ve read a few good ones.  Today I’m a bit under the weather (literally and otherwise) so I read all of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in prep for FINALLY going home to see the movie!  Interesting tidbit:  did you know that the original movie was called “Willy Wonka” because it came out near Vietnam and a movie with the name “Charlie” in the title might not have sold well.  Anyway, reading it made me want to run out and read James and the Giant Peach and the BFG again too!

But the REAL book that I’m reading right now was sent to me for my b-day by my good friend Jen/Jenn/Jenny.  Its by Christopher Moore and its called “Lamb.  The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal”.  BWAHAHA!  I started laughing at the title and haven’t stopped since.  Here’s one of my favorite parts:

“Jerusalem.  Here did I, the Christ, and John the Baptist come to find out the will of God and, if we were lucky, spot some really delicous girls.”  

And if you’re not convinced yet, here’s the description on the back:  “Filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes”

hehehehe
