The Little Sleep by Paul Tremblay
A narcoleptic detective takes on the blackmail case of an American Idolesque game show contestant. Or does he? Our narrator PI Mark Genevich is completely unreliable. He has the worst form of narcolepsy which includes hallucinations. Some parts of the story actually happen and some parts of the story are hallucinations. It's frustrating. And the narcolepsy hasn't made Mark a very nice person, either. I found myself not really caring about his struggles. But the novel is a good exploration of how someone goes through his or her day struggling with the disease. Plus, I'm always up for a Boston based detective story.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
