I would highly recommend that everyone read The Water Method Man this summer if they haven’t already.
This book really packs the laughs, and as the review from the Times or something says, it’s about 3 to 4 times funnier than most novels.
I read this while living in a crappy Chinese dorm. I remember it was a Sunday night and I was waiting to go down to the cafeteria to eat dinner. I stalled and stalled because I wanted to keep reading this book, and also because I thought I might piss myself from laughing so hard.
Needless to say, I managed to pull myself together and get down for some reheated Chinese school cafeteria food. I suspect it was green vegetables with MSG and about twice the usual amount of salt, plus some bones with meat.
All in all, a good read, and I think you’ll enjoy it!
