The Abstinence Teacher
I just read this book by Tom Parrotta. It was a different kind of book for me as there was no mystery. It was a book about people and the troubles some of them face. One main character was a health teacher (middle school) who responded to a student comment about oral sex "some people enjoy it." The fallout from that was kind of maddening. The other main character is a born again Christian who had been a doper in college. The politics and sociology of these two matching up was well done.

I read about this book in the NYTimes and thought it sounded interesting. I also noticed that this is the guy who wrote "Election", which I did not read, but I really liked the movie. (Is that a terrible thing to say?)
