I guess this depends on how far you can stretch the words "last couple of years", but I've recently been scrambling through Christopher Moore's books. They're hysterical, entertaining, and fun. He's doing a good job of "doing for horror what Douglas Adams did for sci-fi." Of course, I love _Lamb_ the best, but it's a little too close to my heart to be a fair judge.... :) Chris (Now where did I put that hole for my head?)
