Yup! Terminal Velocity isn't that difficult to find yet (my favorite used bookstores often have it in, and I *think* the NYPL still has a copy or two). That book is just delightful. I go back and forth as to which of the two is my favorite.
Also out there though tougher to find, not with Ellen and I don't think nearly as polished are three other books. The Redneck Way of Knowledge (a series of memoir pieces...similar in humor) and Mourning the Death of Magic (a disturbing book with a few moments of brilliance and others that didn't really do it for me) are at the NYPL usually checked in at the Midtown branch. Nerves, her first novel, I've only seen in a bookstore once but is available for a few dollars online (abe books as recommended by grammargirl had several copies). That one's interesting in a dated sort of way and more interesting by way of comparison to her other stuff.
