The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz

Filed under: Favorites,Humor,Mystery,Series — Tags: — Randolph @ 4:28 pm

This is the first book of the Spellmans. They are a normal family, with a family business of investigation. But they spend most of the time investigating each other. Blackmail, spying, bribery, and other black arts are a regular part of their interaction. The book is very funny and I can strongly recommend it.

The Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest by Wendy NorthcuttThere are several amusing stories, but it got old quick. Its a bit too grim to be really funny, yet its still difficult to keep from laughing at some of them.

The Pirates!: An Adventure with Scientists & An Adventure with Ahab by Gideon Defoe

Another great book!  The Pirate Captain has bought a boat from Cutlass Liz and payment is due! The captain comes up with hair-brained, and hilarious, schemes to gain the funds and save his crew. The characters are wonderfully odd, Defoe has a great sense of humor.  This is a must read for anyone!!
