Wonderfully zany, and advert for one of my favorite novels, "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore in the back.

Barking is the newest book, and tells the story of Duncan Hughes, a lawyer-turned-werewolf who has to fight off vampires, hostile werewolves, an undead shapechanger, and his inability to do math...
