Got on sort of a roll with Christopher Moore after The Stupidest Angel -- this is a very funny novel about the time in Christ's life between birth & when he turns 30, told through the eyes of Biff, known as Levi, his buddy. Just a bunch of funny little bits -- like the first few tries of Joshua (what Biff calls Jesus) to bring someone back to life (think: Dawn of the Dead), when he meets Mary Magdalene, other vignettes.

Definitely a spoof of a book -- and one that "red staters" definitely definitely wouldn't much like -- but with some reasonable insight as well -- definitely humanizes and satirizes Christ's early life.

A little drier than Angel, but funny. I'll ready his book Fluke, or I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings next, but think I'll take a break first.
