30. Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire - This is the second book in the "Wicked Years" series, which starts with Wicked. I liked this book and although I didn't like it as much as the first, he has quite the talent for entirely transporting the reader into his world. Another interesting thing I noticed is that his main characters are often castoffs or people working on the edges of society and something about how they are so maligned makes them likeable but at the same time they have very unlikeable personalities. This book focused on the life of Liir the supposed son of Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West.
31. The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore -- This book was hilarious and ridiculous and wonderfully weird all at the same time. It takes place in Pine Cove, CA; the same location as the Stupidest Angel. I loved this book; the perfect book to read when recovering from being sick. Imagine a quaint little town that has been invaded by an improbable sea monster all at the same time that the local psychiatrist has decided to take all her patients off of their anti-depressant meds. Makes for a very sticky situation.
