YES YES YES... I loved it (and bought the rest of them) Simon is an MR member (spacejock) and offers the first book for free on his website.

If you want some real good laughs, go for the entire Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

Oh oh... shall I finally confess and say I just never could get into the books? **running away as she ducks from big sticks and rocks***

She also has a second book entitled Laughing Without an Accent, which is also humorous, but I liked the first one much better.

I laughed while reading about the hilarious situations and family members also.

Evanovich.

I buy these in dead tree format as I had started to collect them before I received my Reader. I agree with you both, a very outrageous, down to earth, sense of humor!
