Okay, so I put in some criteria and it comes up with this as a selection:

"By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee
By Tama Janowitz

Reader comment
Chaotic, precocious, indefatigable, funny and optimistic, this parody of 'Song of Hiawatha' is a tedious freak show of satire."

A tedious freak show... ??? ... do you think she used the wrong word? Or else why would I want to read it? Tedious reading is the last thing I need in my life...

Hmmmm. just hmmmmm...

Filling it in I got Diamond Age and a Larry Niven book but somehow right next to those two was the English Patient.

Odd, how does Diamond Age compare to English Patient?
