    Even though this isn't technically a novel, I had to put it up because it's one of the most hilarious things I have ever had the good fortune to clap my eyes on.
    This book contains 244 pictures of cats at their worst, from shaved Persians dancing 'rave' style to a kitty whose chosen partner is a hamster (caption: What can I say? He's good in bed.), all with side splitting captions in a police case file format.
    Totally devoid of plot or any connection between cats other than their naughtiness, this book is nonetheless worth every penny and every tear that'll roll down your unsuspecting cheek from laughter.
    Anyone who loves or even likes cats a little needs a copy of bad cat for lunch breaks, long waits in line at the post office or trips to the 'reading room.' Be forewarned, however, that you're going to get more than a few funny looks and even more people asking what the hell you're laughing about.
