The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore

What do you get when you cross a town full of depressed people with a prehistoric sea creature named Steve? The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove of course. 

Taking place ten years after Christopher Moore's original Pine Cove novel, the sleepy little town has survived the tourist season and is getting ready to wind down and get on with life. But when the town psychiatrist decides to take everyone of their anti-depressants and put them on placebos instead, this cozy little town goes crazy. To make matters worse, an unexplained wave of horniness has overtaken the residents of pine cove. And you know what they say about horny depressed people. Right?

I read this book while at work and I imagine I looked like a crazy person from laughing out loud so much. This book will make you laugh out loud too. Moore is able to expertly mix humor and plot, wit and story. He can make you laugh and keep you reading. Although it's probably best not to do it while on the job. Learned that one the hard way.

This book has been out for over ten years. You should have no problem finding it in your local book store.
