Another question that popped up when reviewing Birds of a Feather. In the opening scene, Laura states that she feels "strangely rested, despite the lack of sleep". Are we to assume that sex with Harry is rejuvenative?   

Well, good sex is.

REALLLLY good sex is, but damages property.*



*Reading YOU SUCK: A Love Story by Chris Moore right now. Sorry.

OMG.  I didn't know it was out...  how is it?  Fiends is one of my favorites (after Coyote Blue)

Replying in here to not derail the thread. It's very good...highly reccomend Moore to Butcher fans, especially A Dirty Job, The Stupidest Angel, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, and Coyote Blue. They're a different tone, but the snark is turned way up to 11. Putting Jim, Chris, Max Barry, Steven Brust, Bob Asprin, Robert Wolfe, and John Steakley in a free form panel for 3 hours would just be...interesting. Snarkadelic. -Mickey

The main character doesn't have to be at all likeable.  It's far more difficult to write in the voice of a villain, or an unsympathetic character, but it can be done, and done well.  A good example is The Still by  David Feintuch.
