I'd had enough of heavy literature for a while, so I read a couple of humorous novels.

23. Ten Big Ones, by Janet Evanovich

Stephanie Plum accidentally identifies a convenience store robber called the Red Devil, which gets her targeted by his fellow gang members, the Slayers. Funny in parts, and I do like the character of Sally Sweet, the cross-dressing musician and bus driver.

24. Big Trouble, by Dave Barry

This book is hilarious. Teenagers, parents, cops, weapons smugglers, and other assorted weirdoes collide in Miami. This one had me giggling out loud.


"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
