Looking for something good to read in the next few weeks? Don't want to sit on a request list for the next month or so waiting for The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society? Would you be embarrassed to read something with such a strange title anyway? Of course, there's always Salmonella Men on Planet Porno - nobody's waiting for that one.
