All of Christopher Buckley's books have fantastic covers. Every time I'm at the used-book store looking for Bukowski books, my eyes keep drifting over to the nearby Buckley ones. I finally gave in bought one. And found a great new writer.

My review in 50 words or less...
John O. Banion is a D.C. Sunday talk-show host with everything going for him. Until he's abducted. And probed. He dismisses this as a bad dream. Until he's abducted a second time. And probed again. A well-written, politically-neutral satire of all sorts of topics. Hilarious. Recommended.
