Miniture Evergreen For Planter

Now it's slanted

There are authors whose penchant for absurdity's not boundless.

include the classics of course Terry Pratchett with its nutty Discworld, Matt Ruff and his wonderful book "Fool on the Hill" ("GAS" is nice, but not as much good) and of course the undisputed king genre: Douglas Adams ! Btw, nothing against "The Hitchhiker," I love both the books and the old BBC series (I have on DVD), the film is, however sucks. But for me his best book "The last of their kind" in which he sets off to visit animals that are threatened with extinction. Man is constantly laughing and crying between torn.

But especially I enjoy more of my "discoveries" of not so well-known authors (and not so far known to me). Gems that I come across suddenly in bookstores or in the Büchergrabbelkiste I find in the supermarket and buy really only because I like the title so well.

three of this variety, I would urge you today to my heart.

"The Good Fairies of New York" by Martin Millar

blurb:
Dinnie was the worst violinist in New York. Nevertheless, he was practicing brave, as two pretty little fairies fluttered through his fourth-floor window and puked on his carpet. "Sorry," said one.
For most people, fairies are invisible ...
But not for Dinnie and Kerry from the 4th Street. And so begins this Punk Rock Summer Night's Dream: uproar among the black elves, the sisters and the Italo-Chinese elves are acidic. Blame for everything, two punky Scottish fairies.

The book is hilarious, tragic, absurd, loving, very fast, punk, full of wit and unexpected twists, just wonderful.


"doves, dancing the Mambo" by CD Payne

blurb:
Robin and his friends work in a research laboratory. Please think at least - because actually they are not scientists, but the pigeons will be tested on that here, how birds responded to different environmental influences. Nevertheless, life is pretty okay, until one day liberate militant animal rights activists Robin and Co. and in the streets of San Francisco suspend - no cigarettes, no sherry and without a plan, what will happen now ...

The biggest problem is that Robin and his friends firmly believe to be human beings and the evil rumor that they were pigeons, far reject. People can not fly of course and so need sophisticated strategies hatched in order to survive in the wild. Above all, have to scrap the supply of nicotine and alcohol are secured.

I've laughed so much!
