Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal By Christopher Moore

This is a good book for the cold dark days of winter for it is sure to bring a smile to your face and more than a few outright laughs. I recommend not reading it on the subway if you want to avoid people thinking of you as the crazy laughing person sitting across from them. Lamb is the story of Jesus as told by Biff, his childhood best friend. Biff fills us in on the missing years from when Jesus was a child until his adulthood. The story also offers a few very entertaining explanations on where things like Judo come from.

I'm not sure where my copy of it is so if you have it, post a note. That way if anyone else wants to borrow it, we can arrange an exchange. I picked up a copy for Trent recently (see cold dark days of winter referenced above) from a used book store so there are definitely copies floating around.

I would definitely consider this one of my all time favourite books. It's hysterical and you can't help but have a good time reading it. Oh...and check out Christopher Moore's website. He has a striking resemblance to Zanta..though it could just be the hat.
