John Hodgman "The Areas of My Expertise"
David Nadelberg "Mortified: Real Words. Real People. Real Pathetic."

Aside from a hundredish comics, that's all I've read. Thankfully I loved both of them.

The Boy Detective Fails by Joe Meno. Very lovely, one of my all-time favorites now.

The Gnostic Discoveries, by Marvin Meyer is really good if you're into potentially heretical Christian writings not included in the Bible. I'm assuming I'm the only one who would have read this, other than Deathscythe. And technically it came out in '05, but I have the paperback, which is an '06 release. That Jesus was a crazy guy.
