Jennifer Government was pretty good, in my opinion. Not fantastic, not quite worth buying in hardcover, but readable.

I do. He won the Miss Texan Hotrodders Pageant last year.

I once read some conspiracy that all of Max' aliases, the number of letters from those aliases formed the first prime numbers

















Except Max Barry, which had 8 letters... :rolleyes:

Never read the books ... probably won't unless I get sent a free copy just for being a nice guy ... then it will just end up in some public place when I'm done with a bookcrossing.com number on it.

I know of Max, but I don't know Max.

I found it to be a good read. It's some real good satire, but, what I found disturbing was the underlying statement Barry made about corperations.
