Its wierd, but it is a good wierd.

Christopher Moore writes some pretty fun books. I am unfortunately reading them out of order, but So far I have polished off The stupidest Angel and Practical Demonkeeping and I am working on The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove After that I think I will move on to his Vampire books.

These books are comedies, with a big helping of science-fiction or fantasy thrown in. Sometimes Zombies attack the small town of Pine Cove, sometimes it is an invisible demon, and other times a Godzilla-like sea-monster. The point is the small, quiet tourist town of pine cove has a lot of bad things happen there.
The books take a look at how the varied citizens of the town deal with these happenings, mostly dealing with the problem in their own skewed way.
These books are at the heart character pieces, Moore having populated the town with a large rouges gallery of oddballs (for example Howard, owner of H.P's Cafe, that serves such dishes as Shub-Nigguraths Dark Yolks of the Wood, or eggs benedict up to normal people).
The books are a fun light read, perfect for a road trip or day on the beach.
