16. NASRUDDIN AND THE GOAT
Nasruddin and his neighbor were quarreling.
“You stink worse than a goat!” his neighbor said, so Nasruddin took him to court for slander.
The judge said, “Bring in a goat for comparison.”
They brought in a goat, and when the judge leaned down to sniff the goat, he fainted. That’s how bad the goat smelled.

This is the first book in a tetralogy with the fourth one just published in 2023. I plan on reading them all if I can find them free (I can wait). It is a good book but I have a warning; it is one of the very few books that has had me tear up.

The author is known more for his poetry that his prose but this book was a joy to read. He is also criticized for his focus on death but I did not find that be be so in this book. He has a couple of others that I will read when I get to them.

This book is the first in the series of 18. I'll read some more and see if they continue to interest me. The series has been classed as SiFi, Plulp SiFi, Alternative History and Fantasy perhaps others. I don't know if there is genre for speculative future fantasy but that is what I think this is. It does not get very good customer reviews at goodreads.com; mostly because of some VERY poor reviews by 'woke' readers. If you are not woke you might like it.
