Lamb by Bernard McLaverty 98 MsD, I can easily forgive you for TBT! Lamb and The Book Thief are in my top 10 favorite books. I hope you like them! Compski - I didn't actually put Lamb aside on purpose - I kind of lost it or it was taken by a person unknown... I think it has been found, but before I could find it I came across The Book Thief first so I've started on that instead. 84: MsD, The Twilight series was good, but Lamb is excellent. I can't believe you were able to put it aside!
I finished Austenland this week and really enjoyed it. Now, after reading my three chapters for Fellowship, I am going to do a reread of Fluke. I've just finished reading Breaking Dawn so I think I'll finish reading Lamb.

Lamb by Bernard MacLaverty ... gotten to You Suck yet--I shall add it to my TBR list! Sometimes Christopher Moore is tough going. I wasn't crazy about Lamb by him. It had some funny bits but wasn't very sustained... (I like my humorous books to be funny from start to finish! Is that a topic for another discussion? :-) ... Neil Gaiman, and the Princess Bride. I haven't read Tanya Huff's Keeper books yet, but I do like her Shadows series. Lamb is one of those books I keep hearing about. I guess I just need to go ahead and buy it. Oh, and by the way, I totally don't mind being seen at the YA shelves. I second Christopher Moore. My favorite book of his so far is Lamb.
I also recommend Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume is a great book to start with. Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, by Christopher Moore

He's just so zany! ... a testament to how fun this site is!
I just finished Bloodsucking Fiends and thought it was great. Not as good as Lamb but still a wonderful, humorous read.

I really MUST make myself finish it, because it was both funny and sweet.

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore
I'm almost done with Lamb by Christopher Moore. I know a lot of people around here loved it and I have to agree that Moore is one of the silliest and wittiest writers I've ever read. :)
Finished Lamb and found it incredibly funny ! For the next few days I'll be continuing my slow reading of Mists Of Avalon . 19. LAMB by Christopher Moore - This is an irrevrent storytelling of Jesus's life from age 12 to 33 . I laughed throughout reading this book ! ... track of "date finished" this year and I just realized that that's the 9th book I've finished this month. *whew* I started Lamb this afternoon and it's already entirely amusing. I am currently reading Lamb because I've read so many great reviews and now I'm finding they're justified ! Also slowly working through Mists of Avalon because I've always enjoyed Arthurian tales . ... The Stupidest Angel (also by Moore) was one of the funniest books I've read in a long time and lots of people said Lamb was even better. I'm not sure what I'll think of it but it'll probably be next on my list. :)

I really enjoyed Lamb. It is one of my favorite all time books. Not far down the list is The Other Boleyn Girl. Philippa Gregory's other books are so-so, but this one is awesome. ... the following, if anyone has extreme recommendations of which one to read first, let me know: Fight Club, The Namesake, Lamb, Monkey Business
And what's the feedback on The Other Boleyn Girl? I've heard mixed things about it so I haven't picked it up yet. Good? Bad? Comparison ... #31 -- I was wondering that too, since I'm not impressed by my ER so far (same as #34)...

LG, i heard a lot of recommendations for Lamb, but this is the first one of his that i've been able to get my hands on. Have you read Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove yet? It's tied for my second with You Suck, Lamb being first for me. :) Oh, I love them all mostly... 6. Gods Behaving Badly 2/26/08

I'll go first:
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
~Christopher Moore I have to agree Lamb was one of the funniest books I have ever read. Christopher Moore always makes me laugh but Lamb was his best. Someone mentioned Lamb, it has to be not only one of the funniest books of all time, but one of the best.
Janet Evanovich is hilarious, I've enjoyed most of the books she's written. 3 Huzzahs for Jim! Lamb is one of my favorite books. Literally laugh out loud funny! I read that one last year: Lamb by Christopher Moore. Truly hilarious. I loved the line "I never did learn what his middle initial, H, stood for."
How about:
"In an old house in Paris, that was covered in vines..." ... Moore yet. I'm really looking forward to it given all of the good things I've heard. I know other people who loved Lamb as well. ... this in your library, but I don't want to lose my place here...)

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, Christopher Moore Good to hear you liked Over Easy. I have tried to read Lamb several times and it just wasn't capturing my attention.

The Mirror of Her Dreams and A Man Rides Thr ... I'm glad Lamb is better.
The Time Machine shouldn't be very bad, it's one of the few books for the semester that I've heard of. #10 Hi, Laura ~ I couldn't get into Fluke myself, but I loved, loved, loved Lamb! When you get the chance, be sure to try it!
The Time Machine doesn't sound like too bad a book to have to read. ... that I don't have a great interest in. Moore's style is witty and fun, I think I'd like to try something else by him. Maybe Lamb? Who knows?
But that's probably the last of the fun reads for a while. I'm onto school books starting with The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.
8/50 (16%)
2850/16,0 ... Finished both, and reviewed them, Lamb and 52 pickup. Interesting cultural differences. I'll certainly look out for some more recent Leonard when I'm in the mood for a quick thriller. Lamb was odd. Something that I would have expected to have enjoyed more than I actually did. Thanks Littlegeek, ... As for the "H" in Jesus H. Christ - I'm hoping someone can remember the answer from Lamb by Christopher Moore . I only have it on audiobook so looking it up is a little difficult. But I'm sure it was really funny. ... it's about how other cultures interact but there are some distinctly notable traits in some of the species. Excellant.
Lamb is taking a while to get through, mostly because I'm doing DIY instead of reading. Lamb: curtesy of littlegeek. It's a bit wacky. Lamb and 52 pickup arrived for me today!
I'm looking forward to reading them the moment I've finished my current book.
SO thanks littlegeek, they'll keep me entertained. Lamb by Christopher Moore is without a doubt the funniest book I've ever read. I have to third Good Omens. I'll also throw in Lamb and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as well!
For my I-really-shouldn't-be-laughing, but I am, there's always Choke. The hardest par |
