Christopher Moore is a comedy writer, whose stories usually have a supernatural or angelic or demonic (sometimes, all of the above) slant. I particularly enjoyed “Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Jesus’ Best Friend.” I have had a priest declare that it was “probably not sacriligeous.”

You may want to approach his books carefully. Usually even funny books are only worht a snort or a snigger while reading them but I laughed out loud while reading “Lamb” five times — a record for me!

If you’re hitting your teens or you’re a parent who’s got a kid hitting their teens, you might really love Rachel Cohn.

She’s got two books published — “Gingerbread” and “The Steps”.

Gingerbread is now out in paperback and I can’t find “The Steps” anywhere.

She’s got a website, www.rachelcohn.com

I read all over the place — science fiction (naturally), mystery, historicals, fantasy, crime, romance (Diana Gabaldon), YA.

So I plan to use this blog to talk about writers I’ve read and liked.
