What about Charles Portis and Flann O'Brien? Of Portis, I love THE DOG OF THE SOUTH the most, although others love NORWOOD and find it the funniest. His MASTERS OF ATLANTIS is pretty wonderful and funny as well. O'Brien's THE THIRD POLICEMAN is my favorite novel, maybe, and certainly the funniest I've ever read. A lot of people find his AT SWIM-TWO-BIRDS better and funnier. Stanley Elkin is savagely funny. How about THE MAGIC KINGDOM? Lorrie Moore's ANAGRAMS is the heartbreaking kind of funny. While we're at it, let's start a Thomas Berger and/or Peter Devries revival. Okay, bye! Is it too late to get in on this? What about Charles Portis and Flann O’Brien?

Jessica - I tend to go for crushing (yet slightly hopeful) books, too. Aimee - This is like a Dave Barry column with way more tension and depth. Jessica - Sorry, I don't believe in Capital Punishment. Lance - He's phenomenal to watch live. A real performer. Shelley - That's a great photo! Lance - I like the Mrs. Roper look.

Can someone kill me? I called John, Tom. I think I was thinking about TOW and mixed it with the sound of John and came up with Tom. Funny, right? Sorry about that! Jessica Ok.

I promise I have nothing to do with his politics. I just provide him the means to self-educate (and listen to a lot of AM radio around him.) Most people asked if he even knew what the sign meant and he explained it to them in great detail. My younger son was a ninja and tried to kick everyone. I kind of wished he was a real Ninja when the Nascar driver started swearing at us and dropped the f-bomb on my son. However, he might have thought my son was older because he kept yelling that it was a kids holiday, as he puffed his cigarette and chugged his Natural Light. My son is 10.
