I read Don Delilo's The Angel Esparanza. Some of it was good, but a lot of it was pretty shit!
Currently reading Don Quixote, Ulysses (guess who's still in college *laughs, throttles self*) and The Last Temptation of Christ.
The latter is just as good as the movie. At one point Mary confronts her brother in law, a rabbi, over Christ's visions from god giving him epileptic seizures should he ever pursue things like women, normal life, etc. She wants him to exorcise what plagues her son, and he can't because... it's God. He can't overpower God, obviously. So she asks, why is God tormenting her son like that, to which the rabbi replies, exasperated: "Because he loves him!"

I always presumed all the black humor in the film came from Scorcese. The whole logic of "You know who'd make a great Judas... Harvey Keitel!"; but this book has some drastically funny bits so far.
