Just finished Pioneer, Go Home! by Richard Powell. It's a very funny novel that was made into the Elvis Presley movie, Follow That Dream. The book is better.
A 50th anniversary edition was published earlier this year.
I also recently read two unusual fantasy novels, Tea with the Black Dragon by R.A. McAvoy and The Wizard of Pigeons by Megan Lindholm(aka Robin Hobb).
TwtBD is a fantasy/mystery hybrid set in San Francisco and all of the wizards in TWoP are homeless people in Seattle. Both are worth reading.
