(BTW, The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady is NOT available in the Toronto library system, and, other than Alberta, isn't available anywhere in Canada except Ontario via Overdrive.)

Yes, unfortunately even though The Radioactive Lady may be in the Overdrive system, it is not available in either of my points of access to that system (Wisconsin state system, or Philadelphia Free Library). Sigh, not even available in paper form in my local library system.

Super Sad Love Story did not interest me either. From the teaser it just struck me as too much like the script for an extended episode of Friends; that television series about a group of whiny self-adsorbed 20-30 somethings. Just my opinion, different strokes for different folks.

Naked? I have already read some Sedaris and do not care to read any more.

Hal Spacejock #1 looks like a fun little read. It apparently is only available for purchase from the author's web site, but that's alright as it is only $1.99. It may be a bit light weight to generate a lot of discussion, but this is the comedy month.

Still I would be happy to read and participate for any selection except Naked, and maybe Super Sad Love Story.
