Youse guys probably already did this, but I will still recommend Perdido Street Station.
It is weirder than me. That should not be possible.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Okay, show of hands. Which of the two characters on this book cover is speaking the title sentence?

You both know that's a Photoshopped parody, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
How can you tell?

Oh yeah... after Susan posted the link to that legitimate cover vote, I went back and found the spoof cover website we'd laughed about way back when. Lord of the Hissyfit and so forth...

"I'd rather discuss the permutations of swordplay, with an undertone of definite allusion to sex." Beverly, offering an example of when your characters give you 'tude.
*pops in* Have a literary/nattery type question: "The love that dare not speaketh its name"... Is that Oscar Wilde, and does anyone know from where it originates?

"The love that dare not speak its name" was a phrase used in Oscar Wilde's trial for homosexuality. I suspect it has an earlier origin.
