THE RELUCTANT JESUS
The year is 1999 and the millennium is fast approaching. Baseball fan and thirty two year old confirmed bachelor and architect, Seth Miller, is content with his life, as long as the Yankee’s win and his mother stays away from his Greenwich Village apartment. Seth’s life though, is turned upside down when he his informed by his overbearing and over protective mother, that he is actually God’s youngest son; and by default the second coming of Christ.
Initially convinced that his parents are crazy, his thoughts of their committal to a suitable care facility are superseded when he receives an unsolicited telephone call from God himself. With Armageddon fast approaching, and due to some poor editing and proof reading of the bible, Seth must assume the role of Christ and fight God’s corner in the ‘Final Conflict’ between good and evil.
Despite his initial reluctance and attempts to shirk his new responsibilities, God is insistent and Seth is cajoled into undertaking the role of Messiah.
With his best friend, and chief follower Bob Nancy, Seth embarks on a calamitous sequence of miracle doing and disciple gathering, all of which fail to inspire the legions of followers expected by God, but leads to a bout of food poisoning for a troop of visiting boy scouts and a suspected attempt on the life of Mayor Giuliani.
God, a somewhat nonchalant character, is far more preoccupied by the lack of IT and administrative support he is receiving in Heaven, than actual events on Earth; and is already planning to move on to other planets, he and Lucifer are in the process of developing for ‘future projects’.
Enter Maggie De Lynne, as Seth’s second disciple and love interest, who adds her own perspective to Seth’s predicament; which is only compounded when a just as unsuitable anti-Christ, suffering from IBS and with a penchant for dressing up as cartoon characters, visits his apartment.
Throw a ‘gangsta’ rapping guardian angel and Walter the talking cat - who used to be quiet as a mouse - into the mix, and the scene is set for a hilarious tale of one man’s reluctance to save the world and join the family business.

Happy Days
Happy Days by Samuel BeckettMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Utter drivel!
No Fonzie, No Ralph Malph, No Richie, No Arnold's and not even a whiff of Mr C or Mrs C.
Sorry, and I make NO apologies,to write a book about Happy Days and not include some of the main characters is, quite frankly, idiotic.

100 Years Of Solitude
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García MárquezMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A very funny story regarding this book. I purchased it to read some years ago, to accompany and entertain me as I crossed the Atlantic aboard an old schooner, where I had sought passage as a paying deckhand.
However, a few days before my intended voyage I was struck down by a mystery illness after my return from a short break to Bangkok, where I met a lovely young lady named Peter.
Well, to cut a very long and false story short, I was prescribed penicillin by my doctor, which I took as prescribed. Unfortunately, due to my illness I was informed that I was no longer required for the Atlantic crossing.
Therefore, and in conclusion, I never did get to read this book, but I expect it is very good, so I gave it a resounding 5 stars because a lot of other people, who probably did read it, did that.
I never did hear from Peter, my girlfriend from Thailand, after I returned home. Which was sad, as I really wanted my family to meet her, as they had never encountered a girl with a penis before.

Orlando
Orlando by Virginia WoolfMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
No mention of Disney. No mention of Sea World. No mention of Wet and Wild. Not a whisper about Universal Studios.
Not one hotel recommendation, map or one tip on where to eat.
Probably the worst tour guide book written about Orlando.
