People's History of the United States downstairs, and I just finished The Drunkard's Walk upstairs. I want to read some fiction next, so it's either going to be the Dexter series of books (love that show) or the Yiddish Policeman's Union.

Has anyone ever read... The Secret Policeman's Other Ball?

I believe it was the first book written by a computer.

It understood sentence structure, but not vocabulary.

It was hilarious.

I'd like to find a copy; any ideas?
Edit: I've been searching all afternoon, while watching football.

The only things I can find are a couple of books written by computers, neither was what I was looking for. The title that I remember has been linked to a series of benefit concerts. (That's definitely not what I read back in 1975.)

I did enjoy S.M. Stirligns Change series.
Right now I'm going through:
Demons, by Fyodor Dostoevsky. (About 500 pages in and all I've met has been character development. Oh those Russians...)
Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon. (Interesting in a strange way, its confusing but at the same time it makes sense.)

Just finished Murder on the Orient Express read by David Suchet. So I guess I didn't READ it, but I think it should count. It's hard to pass up an audiobook while commuting. Kill two birds and all...
