I just got finished reading one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time : _Triggerfish Twist_ by Tim Dorsey. I have not laughed at a story this hard in a LONG time. The man writes about the same things that Carl Hiassen does, i.e. crime and lunacy in Florida, but this guy is so freaking funny, he actually makes Dave Barry look bland in comparison. Complerely inspired lunacy.

Has anyone else read anything by him? Trust me. If anyone but me starts reading this guy, he is gonna be big.

Thanks for recommending Dorsey, Euty. I picked up Triggerfish Twist and laughed my ass off reading it. I’ve picked up a couple of his other books, and look forward to having them rise to the top of the to-be-read pile.
