I've just finished ISLAND OF THE SEQUINED LOVE NUN Island of the Sequined Love Nun (ISBN 0-06-073544-9) is the fourth novel by absurdist author Christopher Moore, published in 1997. It is based partly on the author's own personal experiences in Micronesia. and THE LUST LIZARD OF MELANCHOLY COVE, too. Christopher Moore is a New Age Hunter Thompson. Irreverent. Cheeky. Cynical. And thought-provoking. Set in Maui, FLUKE centers around an expert whale researcher seeing the words BITE ME on the tail of a humpback whale humpback whale Long-finned baleen whale (Megaptera novaeangliae).

Of course, he was the only one who saw it and the pictures he took didn't turn out, so he has to prove to himself that he's not going crazy from too much time in a boat.
