I just finished reading the book "Lamb" by Christopher Moore. Its subtitle tells all: "The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal." Basically, it's a humorous fictional account of the 30 year gap in christ's life that the gospels don't really talk much about. It's hilarious, witty and intelligent! Worth reading.
Has anyone else read it?

I have. In fact I met Christopher Moore at a book signing here. I recommend pretty much all his books.

Very cool. I would think he'd be interesting to meet. Seems like a crazy fun sort of guy.
Ya, I'd like to read another of his books. Which one would you recommend I read next?

"Bloodsucking Fiends; A love Story" is great. It's the first book I ever read by him.
"Coyote Blue" is a story with the trickster god
But Start with "Practical Demonkeeping"*, it sets the stage and introduces characters (re-used or at least mentioned) for "The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove", "The Island of the Sequined Love Nun", "The Stupidest Angel", and "Fluke".
In the same vein but wholly different is James P. Blaylock's "The Last Coin". Probably my favorite book right after "Little, Big"
*plus it has a funny dub reference -
