Lee A Martinez does funny scifi. If you like noir, start with The Automatic Detective.

I just started Nature Girl, my fave Hiassen is Striptease.

Alice in Wonderland... is not for kids. In fact, a lot of it sails right over the head of most adults.
Lewis Carrol pokes fun at the brits at a time when that could land you in jail, and his satire
reminds me of the problems we face at times.

A book for history lovers.... Lords of Finance. Warning, this will leave you feeling.. unsettled.
There are some parallels between La Belle Epoque and our time.
