Oh, the things you learn from Wikipedia

[cinaed]

So, I've been visiting the local thrift shop and buying all their books. (What? Paperbacks are 50 cents!) Recently, I bought all I could find of James Howe's Bunnicula series, because it is awesome.

...Yeah, the fourth book, Nighty-Nightmare? Is autographed by James Howe.

So naturally, I was all, "Awesome!" and told my friends, and one wondered if you could make some money off of an autographed book, and so I went to see if he's still writing novels. (Yes, he is.)

Wikipedia was very informative, letting me know that James Howe is still writing and that his last book was in 2006.

Also? That James Howe is gay.

...No, seriously. After a couple paragraphs about his writing and life you get this blurb: "After the death of his first wife, Howe remarried and fathered a daughter, Zoey, but eventually divorced and came out as gay. He is currently in a committed relationship with lawyer Mark Davis."

Hee. God, I love Wikipedia so much.

If you like Howe, you should read his book The Misfits. It's a book about a group of miserable middle schoolers who decide to start their own political party for the school elections. It's so very, very good.

And I knew he was gay from that book. It's seriously delightful. Pick up a copy.

I love Howe, so I'll definitely check out The Misfits. It sounds good! :)

*checks* Ooh, and it's at my local library, so I'll grab it when I drop off some books for the book sale tomorrow. Yay, thanks a lot for the rec. :)

Oh my god. I never thought I'd talk to someone else who liked Bunnicula. Every one else I mention it to just stares at me like I'm crazy.
