Book: Willful Creatures

by Aimee Bender. This book is so totally sweet, I don't even know where to begin. The big man buys the cage with the little man in it and tortures him until they both learn a little something about life. Ten guys are all told simultaneously that they will die in two weeks. A fruit stand sells gases and emotions shaped into words. Two people with pumpkins for heads give birth to a little boy with an iron for a head. This book rules. Totally. Sweet.

Recommend: If you don't buy this book or at least borrow it and read it before the next time I run into you, I will break a guitar over your neck and back. Not in the good way.
