Not so much a book as a collection of essays on food, cooking, and eating. Very funny at times.

I enjoyed a lot of the satirical elements, but if there was some deeper meaning here, it was lost on me. I understand Pynchon himself has called this the least favorite of his novels.

There's a serial killer on the loose in Toy Town. Clever, funny, and twisted.

There's a little bit of Wodehouse in these silly short stories.

A great follow-up from the author of "My Family and Other Animals."

Just a great and entertaining rundown of some of the dumbest decisions in baseball history.

...and top-flight olive oil and all sorts of Italian food. Classic (and true!) fish-out-of-water story.

One of the great picaresque novels, and a send-up of conventions in the 18th century English novel.

A silly, surreal comic novel along the lines of Robert Rankin's work. But you'll have to get past the numerous grammatical errors.
