Last night I finished Sock by Penn Jillette. It's a murder mystery told from the point of view of a sock monkey. I'll give you a second to let that sink in.

I almost didn't read it based on the gimmick. It seemed too much like something people who like Janet Evanovich would read. But then I remembered that Penn Jillette's a pretty brash guy, and very entertaining, and so I read it. And it was pretty good. It wasn't read-it-all-in-one-day good like Invisible Monsters, but it was good. Lots of pop culture references. Lots of intriguing ideas. I really liked it.
