My original Sunday Citar--lengthy and taboo

*saved as draft earlier today. Do you ever have a post that your afraid to publish? Ever wonder what people will think? Ever feel apprehensive that some may not like what you've written. Earlier in my blogging life I had no apprehensions. I typed and published. Now I feel a little more nervous. should i feel this way? I dunno. Well  I said to heck with judgements. and here is the post...* 

Some quotes from author Christopher Moore's books (previously alluded to here)

"I know that even now, having watched enough television, you probably won't even refer to them as lepers so as to spare their feelings. You probably call them 'parts-dropping-off challenged' or something."
— Christopher Moore (Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal)


""You see," I explained to Joshua, "what Joy is doing is ironic, yet that's not her intent. That's the difference between irony and sarcasm. Irony can be spontaneous, while sarcasm requires volition. You have to create sarcasm."
"No kidding?" said Josh.
"Why do I waste my time with you?""
— Christopher Moore (Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal)



"Cofishes--other fish in a group, coworkers, cohorts, etc. Shut up, it's a word."
— Christopher Moore (Fool: A Novel)



"Sarcasm will make your tits fall off."
— Christopher Moore (Fool: A Novel)


His books have made me literally laugh out loud. They are crude and perhaps many will find them offensive. But although his protagonists are lewd, vulgar, and even immoral at times, he finds a way to portray them so endearingly that you can't help but laugh and side with them in all things.  I wouldn't recommend these books to some because of the rated R writing... and its totally understandable how one may be sensitive toward some topics he touches upon in his novels. But for those with a little tougher hide, these books are beautiful. His characters are down-to-earth and charming and worth the read. 


Here's his author description for his novel: Christopher Moore began writing at the age six and became the oldest known child prodigy when, in his early thirties, he published his first novel. Chris enjoys cheese crackers, acid jazz, and otter scrubbing and lives in an inaccessible island fortress in the Pacific.


And if he doesn't sound like your cup of tea... no worries... After I finish his novel "You Suck" a vampire romance, I'm reading Parenting with Love and Logic. My husband is currently reading it, and he is really enjoying it. It is a stern, honest and Christian perspective on parenting.
