It's hard somtimes to believe that I have any time to read for pleasure, but I basically force the time because I love to do it. Reading for me is what music may be to others (not that they are at all mutually exclusive, of course), so I thought it might be fun to complement Zak's Sunday Music Blog with a Sunday Book Blog today.
Today I'll recommend what is probably my favorite comic novel, Straight Man, by Richard Russo. It's about the chair of an English department at a Pennsylvania college, his neuroses and wit, and the divisiveness of the faculty. It is fall-out-of-your-chair funny. Check it out.
So what are your nominations in the category of Best Comic Novel?
