I finally finished The Book of Dave (great read, check out my sort-of review below), so this is the one I’m onto now. Once you get past the fact that the text is disappointingly huge, meaning what would be a 300-page novel really deserves about half that number of pages, it’s actually a pretty decent story.

Being a bizarro novel, there’s a decidedly zany plot - a group of time-travelling people with all of Jesus’s capabilities - turning water into wine, walking on water (the travellers hail from Ocean City, in Atlantica, a city built on the sea) - voyaging to Galilee circa crucifixion day to see if Jesus was just a time traveller like them who duped people for a couple of thousand years. Naturally, when they get there, they don’t find anything you might expect. It’s pretty good - I’m about half-way through already.
