New Book: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

A little over a week ago, I finished reading But What If We're Wrong?: Thinking About the Present As If It Were the Past by Chuck Klosterman.  The book is based on the premise that we are mostly wrong about predicting the future, and we are usually wrong when we arrogantly think that what we know now is how it will always be.  It also explored some more metaphysical ideas, like multiverses and the concept of time.  I thought it was an interesting premise for a book because I have often thought about what movies, TV shows, actors/actresses, or music from the past 50 years will be remembered or celebrated in another few hundred years.  More terrifying for me, is the question:  will there always be rock and roll?  I hope to be long dead before the answer is "no" -- or at least that I'm some sort of undead being that can carry on the gospel of the electric guitar to ensure the answer is never "no."

Speaking of gospels, I just started Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore, which came highly recommended from multiple people.  It chronicles Heaven's intent to fill in the gaps in the four gospels by resurrecting Jesus's childhood friend Biff, who narrates his stories about growing up with Jesus to the angel Raziel.  I enjoy a good satire, especially those that might be viewed as sacrilege by one or more religions.  So far, it's living up to the hype.
