Books: You Got to Be Kidding! The Cultural Arsonist's Literal Reading of the Bible

Joe Wenke calls his book You Got to Be Kidding! The Cultural Arsonist's Literal Reading of The Bible an "engaging, provocative, and hilarious investigation into the bestselling book of all time." I think that description may be overstating the case a bit but it is an irreverent--sometimes ranty, sometimes funny--take on some of the stranger, sillier stories in the bible.

It's got pretty solid ratings over at Amazon and Goodreads and if it sounds like the kind of thing you'd be interested in, it'll probably be the kind of thing you're interested in. The chapters are short and punchy and make for excellent bathroom reading (no tea, no shade).

And it's got the fabulous (and fabulously named) transgender model Nina Poon on the cover, so there's that.
