Why didn't anyone tell me about Carl Hiaasen?

[Fire Walk With Me]

"Sick Puppy" is kicking my ass. Got any others the Lounge should know about?

1. Sick Puppy is the best of the best. I love his works.

Also try Tourist Season, Double Whammy, Lucky You, Native Toungue--eh, just try them all. He's got his pulse on why everything about Florida is both great and horrible at the very same time.

Also, try his send up of Disney--Team Rodent.

2. Thanks! "Team Rodent" caught my eye, in the opening pages.

4. I read a couple of his books and laughed out loud more than I care to admit

Funny stuff, like
Elmore Leonard meets cheech and chong...

5. I gave my 79 year old Mom Sick Puppy to read.

She loved it. I've given her a couple of other Hiaasen novels as well and she's liked them pretty well too. I strongly suggest Skinny Dip as a good one, and Native Tongue is also a fun read.

Hiaasen rocks.

7. Only ALL of his books!!

But don't eat a big meal before reading.

You'll be laughing so hard, you will be in danger of losing it.

8. Haven't read his books in several years, but

I remember "Skin Tight" being terrific.

9. I won't spoil any fun

but there are still things I remember from his books that can make me laugh.
