I have to believe that even Jesus himself would find the tales of his made-up BFF (Biff) as funny. I mean, Jesus had to have a sense of humor. Not blasphemous, just fun.
Front page edit: Christopher Moore people are the best people!

I love Christopher Moore books.

It was so humanizing. I love the idea of over-caffinated teen Jesus bouncing through the market healing people like he's playing tag

TheRealLangdonAuger
The Stupidest Angel is another great one.
landshark21
Bite Me was his first book I bought. I'm not really an avid reader but damn was that a good one. Must recommend.

I love this book so much. Might be time for a re-read.
BBQatCirces
Always +1 Christopher Moore. He's my absolute go-to for a laid-back and hilarious read.
BigVag
I think it is called a Dirty Job. That is another good one from him
imscaredofzombies
Oh man i love this one
IdaLiza
This is my favorite book. Favorite of all time.
JustaSimplePlumber
I read “a dirty job” and then proceeded to binge read almost his entire library.
wadatahmydamie
Same. My book collection’s crown jewel is a pre-release copy of Secondhand Souls he sent to me
ricardoantonioperu
A friend of mine gave me this book after a relative passed, it made me smile and lifted my mood. Great book

Jesus spent his adult life traveling around with a bunch of fishermen and prostitutes. You can't tell me he didn't laugh to "blue" humor.

Love Christopher Moore. If you enjoy him, check out "Love in the Time of Fridges," and "Monster." Scott and Martinez are a lot like Moore.
Chickenbuttholeremover
One of my favorite books. Check out Island of the Sequined Love-Nun. Wild ride. Oh, and Dirty Job, I think it is, new reapers out to grim
graehall
If you think Biff is made up, just wait until you learn about jebus!
playbynightandday
Great book
thepopeof2nd
Highly recommended!!
FuckYourWainscottingCarol
Sacre Blue is one of my comfort books. I love falling into that world.
ReggieWarrhol
Christopher Moore is one of the absolute best story tellers.
WabittSeason
For real! Dirty Job was phenominal.
ReggieWarrhol
I have purchased every novel he's put out, I can't pick a favourite. I have Dirty Job as a signed copy.
WabittSeason
Christopher Moore people are the best people!
CrossedKeys
Practical Demonkeeping is solid as well!
Solahm
My favorite book ❤️! I’m glad someone posted it. I may just go read it again.
zelda633000
I've read it at least five times; I always pick up on something new each time. ?Moore and Hiaasen are my favorite authors.
WabittSeason
Yes! Do it!

Mine is Fool
Iseeyourpointandraiseyou
I absolutely LOVED "Fool", some of my favorite cursewords were taken from it; but I couldn't get into this one, for some reason.
WhatisaYute
I love Christopher Moore. A Dirty Job is another great one of his!
blisfulloblivion
That's my favorite!
WabittSeason
Yes! I should of chose that one but I picked this for Easter. Honestly they are all amazing.
nubblebun
I just started it! I was looking for something a little light and funny and weird and quirky and so hopefully it will fill the bill.
WhatisaYute
I hope so, it's certainly different that any other I've read and I fell in love with the way he tells a story. So funny.
tr26
That was my first - so good
fedupwithhumanity
This was my first as well and he now has his own shelf for all his stories. ?

Which glow in the dark?

To quote my Dad, 'If God doesn't have a sense of humor, then he's no God I'd want to spend the afterlife with anyway.'
abstractdiagram
I thoroughly enjoy this book! The audiobook read by Fischer Stevens is even better.
jeamidwest
Christopher Moore is a gem! My favorite: The Stupidest Angel
TheSecondPiewackit
Practical Demonkeeping, and The Island of the Sequined Love Nun.
WabittSeason
Yes, I heard they filmed the movie but I don't think it was ever released.
CenturyFerret
THEY FILMED A MOVIE?!?!
wadatahmydamie
I send a copy of that to every secret Santa recipient I get on here
thejon
That's the right answer. The Warrior Babe fight with the Angel is my all time favorite scene from any book.
thejon
Y'all who haven't read it ..yeah it's somehow actually more unhinged than I made it sound. It's just lovely.
MardukRules
Recently read this to my wife, and discovered several clever jokes I missed cuz I don’t know Bible school songs.
MaximilianShade
Example?
kwyjiboner
This was my introduction to Christopher Moore, he's got a wicked sense of humour.
AcronymChallenged
Same here! Then I read every other book of his that I could find.
porkchop41
Mine too!
ThatsProbablyInMyBag
I'm currently reading "Shakespeare For Squirrels". The third of his fools stories. I've enjoyed all of his books.
hugemuffin
Mine was "The Stupidest Angel"... gotta love the line "Blessed are the mini-marshmallows"

"I'm not sure, it's either an attempted child abduction or an opossum with a handgun"
CheshirePanda37
Mine too!!! What should I move onto next?
sydneyg8888
Practical Demonkeeping was my intro and read all the others in quick succession. You can’t really go wrong. Enjoy!
BBQatCirces
Fluke!
kwyjiboner
"Sacré Bleu" and "Noir" are both very good. I'm not as big of a fan of his Vampire and/or Pocket series'
FuckYourWainscottingCarol
I like the story of the vampire series but not that the timeline and language don’t jive.
ballinthegroin
The pine Cove 'series' is good. Practical DemonKeeping, Lust Lizards and Stupidest Angel.
thatprickleypear
Sacre Bleu!!
ballinthegroin
For a different writer with a similar sense of humor, check out A Lee Martinez. Gil's All Fright Diner and Automatic Detective are my favs.

A Dirty Job

And the sequel, Secondhand Souls.
RogersTheShrubber
I got my start with 'A Dirty Job' a thrift shop owner becomes a grim reaper
zelda633000
Have you read the follow-up, Secondhand Souls? Also classic Moore. ?
