All books reveal perfection, by what they are or what they are not.

Update to book club:

I finished Fool. It was really good. I started it a few weeks ago but I couldn't get into it. This time though I couldn't put it down. It is a retelling of King Lear from the perspective of Lear's jester. It's Christopher Moore, so it's extremely funny. I completely enjoyed it. I prefer when he is writing about vampires, grim reapers or shape shifters, but it was a nice change of pace. Plus, although is was a retelling of King Lear the language isn't entirely Elizabethan English. It was more a mixture of Elizabethan, modern and a little made up. Highly entertaining. Worth the read.
