I Liked It: First Contact: Or, It's Later Than You Think

For me, the true mark of a truly spectacular book is not that I can't put it down- that happens to me with a lot of books. What really distinguishes a book is that my first impulse upon finishing is to pick it up and start it all over again.  First Contact: Or, It's Later Than You Think by Evan Mandery is one such book.  Mandery writes with the easy humor of Vonnegut or Adams, taking the reader through a surreal, hilarious encounter with aliens.  Philosophical yet hilarious, satiric yet optimistic, First Contact had me laughing from the first paragraph all the way through the acknowledgements.  I strongly recommend this novel to anyone who appreciates intelligent humor and good writing. Hit me up after you read it and we'll discuss.
