Just finished Lamb by Christopher Moore. It's a satire/comedy covering the "lost" years of Christ.

I was going to post about this book at my lunchtime!

It's the last book I read and I would recommend it to anyone. Some of the dialogue is just hilarious. Not bad for a book about Jesus. Some people may find it blasphemous but in my opinion it is touching and full of great lines. Whether you view Christ as the Son of God or just a historical figure, I think you will really enjoy this book. I wish I could write like Moore.

One review I read said that Moore has a "magical tenderness" and I thought that was a good description. Another reviewer said that he has a wit similar to Douglas Adams. Anyway, I highly recommend this book even if you are a Christian.
