DAMN! Are you a really fast reader or is it a short book?
It’s a mystery comedy novel by the man who wrote the TV the Young Ones, and the third and fourth series of Blackadder. … Anyway, Dead Famous is a whodunit story set on a Big Brother-type reality TV show called House Arrest. One of the housemates is murdered and the identity of the victim is not revealed until around halfway into the book. I have yet to reach that part. Though it is a very racy book with very inappropriate language, as it is British humour. (wink)

Nice.
Oh, wait, if you want one that is racy with inappropriate but American, then I actually recommend you read Catch-22 first. It’s incredible. Though it may take a bit longer to read 'cause the context is written to confuse (in a funny way), it is WELL worth the read.
Do you buy or borrow books?

I do!!! I really love the writing style of Madeline Miller. Though I think the flow of Circe could have been a little slower it’s still quite enjoyable. And Circe as a character is quite magnificent, she reminds me of Patroclus in a way… though more powerful.

(Stolen from google synopsis) Ha.
Catch-22, satirical novel by American writer Joseph Heller, published in 1961. The work centres on Captain John Yossarian, an American bombardier stationed on a Mediterranean island during World War II, and chronicles his desperate attempts to stay alive.
Excerpt:
…they told him again that he had to get out and go to war. Yossarian sat up in bed when he heard the bad news and shouted.
“I see everything twice!”
Pandemonium broke loose in the ward again. The specialists came running from all directions…The leader of this team of doctors was a dignified solicitous gentleman who held one finger up directly in front of Yossarian and demanded, “How many fingers do you see?”
“Two,” said Yossarian.
“How many fingers do you see now?” asked the doctor, holding up two.
“Two,” said Yossarian.
“And how many now?” asked the doctor, holding up none.
“Two,” said Yossarian.
The doctor’s faith wreathed with a smile. “By Jove, he’s right,” he declared jubilantly. “He does see everything twice.”
