Paperback. Pub the Date: May. 2010 in Publisher: Harper A man of infinite jest. Pocket has been Lear's cherished fool for years from the time the king's grown daughters-selfish scheming Goneril sadistic (but erotic-fantasy-grade-hot ) Regan. and sweet. loyal Cordelia-were mere girls.

Fool follows the same events as King Lear (or just about) and gives a very strong argument for the real main character in th...
I'll try this another time, but I'm not truly interested in this. Hopefully I'll like it.
Yet another outrageously hilarious tome from the keyboard of Christopher Moore! I know for a fact that not all of my friends and family will like Fool, but many will love it as much as I did, and many will be rolling around laughing, in fits of laughter, as I was. The jester of the court of King Lea...
