Now that we are in DU3, it is still here. And strangely, I am reading another of his books right now---got it at the library book sale and it is one of his children's books called "Scat". Cute book but it isn't nearly as funny as the adult books, because they are so much more irreverent and a little sick.

The first one I read was Sick Puppy (loved that title) and I loved that one. May I suggest that you start with some of the early ones to get to know Skink.
