No such animal.
Eugenides' 'THE VIRGIN SUICIDES' is very high up there for me but on a different day, it will be something else entirely. 'ANIMAL FARM' was my first favorite book ever, I remember that much... Taylor Reid Jenkins is probably my favorite author these days and Samantha Irby is the funniest essay writer alive, period.
If we're including graphic novels: Warren Ellis' 'PLANETARY' or Brian K Vaughan's 'SAGA' are just phenomenal. Ooh, Agatha Christie's 'AND THEN THERE WERE NONE' is a perfect thriller. Favorite sci-fi is maybe 'THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM' by Liu Cixin.
...Hard question!

Ben Philippe:
is there any progress on possibly a sequel to the first book of The Field Guide to the North American Teenager, cause the first one was amazing. I like the idea of doing one about Maddie and have Nor as a supporting character and go from where it left off that would be a great story in my eyes?

Hello! So I just finished Charming as a Verb and promptly went on a Googling rampage about you, which took me to your website and bunch of other stuff. Every time I came across something new, I felt more and more silly and theatrical, (laughing at all the hilarious things on your website, etc) which is just what happened while I was reading your novel. And I HAVE to ask: Where do you get your wonderful humor?
