Fun Read

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

Another good read, with plenty of supernatural stuff mixed with humor:

It's called "Summon The Keeper" by Tanya Huff
(you can read blurbs at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0886777844/ )

Sample dialog, with Claire (the Keeper) and Austin (her talking cat) trying
to explain to Dean ("innocent bystander") what she does for a living.  She
tells him how Evil can sometimes punch really big holes in the fabric of the
Universe, wreaking havoc on the planet:

     His eyes widened, appearing even larger magnified
by the lenses of his glasses.  "Has this ever happened?"
     She hesitated, then shrugged. "Yes, but not often;
the sinking of Atlantis, the destruction of the Minoan Empire..."
    "The inexplicable popularity of Barney," Austin added dryly.

And later:

     "...The battles, Keeper vs Keeper, good vs evil, had been won,
but both times at a terrible cost.  The first has resulted in
the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii.  The
second, in disco.  Claire had only a child's memory of the
seventies, but she wouldn't be responsible for putting the
world through that again."


Added bonus to Canadians -- it's set in Ontario!
Again, this is just a fun read.
