The book fairy has arrived and I am in a state of pure joy. New arrivals on Breckinridge St are:
The Money Shot by Christa Faust: a hardboiled detective novel told from the point of view of an ex porno star who is playing major payback on everyone who has "screwed" her in the past. It's quite a list.
The Expedition by Karl Iagnemma: a novel which begins in Detroit in 1844 and ends in the upper penisula
Blood and Thunder: the Life and Art of Robert E. Howard by Mark Finn: the story of the creator of Conan, the Barbarian.
Sellout by Randall Kennedy: the story of racial betrayal. A must read for all those who are concerned with racial problems in America today. Written by a Harvard law professor, who wrote Nigger in 2001.
Gang Leader for a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh: a sociologist's look at gangs in America today
The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw by Bruce Barcott: an interesting look at the destuction of the environment, in this case in Belize.
Quite a list and gives my readers a view as to my reading preferences.
That's it for now.
Talk to you later
