Books

Moe Howard Died for Our Sins. More than satire, or humor, this book is pure mockery. It offers no solutions but an insight into the absurdity of the problems, which is therapeutic to say the least.

Mystery Books. I (um) read a lot of stuff that most people might think is garbage. I think it's great!
