And as it happens, Hunger Games is up next for me, after <i>Fool</i>.<br /><br />And Nick, I'll let you know what I think about <i>Fool</i>. A couple of weeks back, I read a little of <i>Zone One</i> while at Barnes & Noble--enough to see that John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06358811061653958120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640521.post-55240149292562730152012-01-25T20:13:34.725-06:002012-01-25T20:13:34.725-06:00John,

Thanks for the kind words. Ran...Randall and Nick,<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words. Randall, if you think about it, there's pretty scandalous stuff in the Good Book itself. <i>Lamb</i> is pretty tame by comparison; besides, as Moore himself says in his epilogue (and I'm paraphrasing here), if something like his book is going to shake your faith, the problem is not with his book. Kierkegaard is far more disturbingJohn B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06358811061653958120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640521.post-67369641888409436632012-01-24T07:28:38.645-06:002012-01-24T07:28:38.645-06:00All of Moore's fiction is touched with comedic...All of Moore's fiction is touched with comedic madness - great stuff. <br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts here; you're the first person of faith I "know" who has read <i>Lamb</i>.
