I'm just starting A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius...glad to hear you liked it, Blue.
The last books I read were:
Please Kill Me - a non-fiction account of punk rock, very interesting especially if you were ever a fan of Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, The Ramones, etc.
White Oleander
The Man...
I got that email too. The story was something about two people on a safari or a camping trip when they were attacked by a ferocious wild animal. Then it says to scroll down if you have the stomach for the gruesome picture you are about to see - they managed a final photograph of the beast...
