Chatting Books Online Day 98 . Today’s recommended book is the hysterically funny
“Lamb : the Gospel according to Biff, Christ’s childhood pal”. My friend Meg first told me about this book right around the time we opened the bookstore . When she described it to me I thought this isn’t my type of book , it actually sounds a bit blasphemous. But Meg insisted it wasn’t (and knowing Meg I should have believed her immediately ) and I would enjoy it but still I didn’t read it right away , until it was chosen for our bookclub and being the good little rule follower that I am I had to read it . People use the term “Laugh Out Loud” all the time but other than a quick guffaw or chuckle it is not actually true - but I was sitting on my front porch reading this book and Rob actually had to come outside to see if someone was out there with me I was laughing so loudly and constantly . Fast forward several years and last week my husband Rob picked it up off the bookshelf at home and read it . I asked him to tell me how he would describe it and he answered “funny and thought provoking”. So there you have it folks high praise indeed .
We actually offer this book in two bindings the regular paperback which sells for $16.99 and a highly appropriate faux leather , faux gold embossed , faux bible looking edition that sells for $26.99 .
Day 98: Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's childhood pal.
