Preference Personnelle
Thursday, July 16
 
Returned to the library unread, maybe to revisit sometime. With excuses:

Bad Thoughts, Dave Zeltsermann
The back cover said something about 'occult.'
Dead Boys, Richard Lange
I thought it was going to be about the band.
Jack Wakes Up, Seth Harwood
The cover looks a little cheesy.
Kiss Her Goodbye, Allan Guthrie
Got another Guthrie book checked out, prefer hardbacks to Hard Cases.
The Likeness, Tana French
I think French might be edging into supernatural territory, and I'm not sure I want to come with.
The Redbreast, Jo Nesbo
Feel like I should maybe read Sjowall/Wahloo, Mankell, etc. first.
Road Dogs, Elmore Leonard
How many of this guy's books does one really need to read?
The Scarecrow, Michael Connelly (come to think of it, I haven't read The Brass Verdict either)
See above.
Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford
I was going to read this, but then I decided to work on my bike.
Streets of New York, Erick S. Gray, Anthony Whyte and Mark Anthony
Looked up that G. Rap video on Youtube, started chasing down samples, got sidetracked.

Edit: Two more, Hakan Nesser's Borkmann's Point and Karin Fossum's When the Devil Holds the Candle. See Nesbo.

You should definitely check out JACK WAKES UP. Even if the cover doesn't move you at first, give the book a try. You can read the first three chapters for free and decide for yourself, OR listen to me read the entire book for free.
Why not? Give it another try. You'll see why people are calling it "an action movie between two covers."

Wow, Seth, uh, nice to see you drop in. I can indeed read the first three chapters for free, when I check the book out of the library.

And y'know, I don't always like action movies (I like Point Blank, though--have you seen it?), but I think I will read your book after all. An author with an aggressive and/or quixotic internet promotion strategy just might be my kind of guy.
