Naked Came the Florida Man by Tim Dorsey
Florida's favorite son Serge A. Storms, loveable psychopath and Florida fanatic, and his bestie Coleman are back for another tour of Florida. This time, Serge is taking Coleman on a cemetery tour, visiting the final resting places of famous Floridians including Flipper the dolphin (who was actually a girl dolphin named Mimi) and author Zora Neale Hurston. Other stops include landmark motels and the Golden Corral restaurant (famous for its chocolate fountain). His ultimate destination is the Muck Bowl, a high school football game between rival schools near the sugar cane fields. Other characters are hunting in the same area for buried treasure rumored to have come from a ship that was borne inland during a hurricane. Along the way, Serge finds ways to right wrongs committed against wildlife, senior citizens, and military veterans.
Everyone has heard the news reports that being "Florida man (or woman)..." I have friends who retired to Florida and they tell me that Floridians are pretty crazy. Highly entertaining in a sick way that I enjoy. Serge/Tim Dorsey is a font of Florida trivia. His reverence for vintage Florida motels makes me want to go stay at one.
