Reading Rainbow

Small victory for LeVar Burton and myself. I have mentioned previously the reading materials that Christine prefers: Books with titles like Naked in the Nude, The Throbbening, Sausage Night at the Sizzler, The Seduction of Helen Keller, Meat Patrol, The Pirate's Full Mast, etc. In the past I have gotten her to read the collective works of Tim Dorsey (which I highly recommend for their accurate portrayal of Florida's insanity), and she is familiar with the works of Douglas Adams.

When I get home from work, which is after 10:00pm, I will usually stay awake for about 5 minutes the want to go lay down and read. I've started reading the Fletch series, which is brilliant. Anyway, she had recently finished reading Sex Jungle 3: Turgid Glistening, and was looking for something else to read. I handed her my copy of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which is also brilliant, and told her to read it. Her response?

"Ok, but if I wake up screaming about zombies again, it's your fault."

If you haven't read ALVH, then you're missing out on a beautifully woven piece of historical fiction that merges the biography of Abraham Lincoln with a story of vampires and how they influenced the birth of America. Written by Seth Grahame-Smith, who also blessed us with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Once she finishes this, I will bring home my Pirates! series from work. Short but also brilliant.

For the record, I did not mean this to be a huge book advert. I'm simply proud of Christine for expanding her literary capacity and filling her mind with more than pulsating meat pistons penetrating quivering mounds of love pudding.
