Under The Dome by Stephen King

Anchoret · February 28th, 2011, 07:35 AM

Finishing this up at the moment, an utterly horrific story:

Finished this one yesterday:

Read this one yesterday (quite good):

This, the latest Bernie Gunther mystery:

In the "historical crime" department, I read this last week:

Anchoret · February 28th, 2011, 07:45 AM

This one a couple of weeks ago, very good:

Lawton really is an exceptionally fine writer, easily on par with Le Carre (Our Kind of Traitor was weak) and Furst, but different. He writes for grownups.

Anchoret · February 28th, 2011, 07:47 AM

This one recently, too:

As a native Northern Californian descended from the state's pioneers, I find these histories fascinating. I lived for about fifteen years in San Francisco, and very much of my time was spent in Chinatown -- the real one, where I was the only non-Chinese literally as far as the eye could see. The streets, alleys and surviving buildings in this book are very vividly in my mind's eye as I read it, which adds to this fascinating account.

This one recently, a good survey:

Anchoret · February 28th, 2011, 07:50 AM

The newest Lawton, not his best but certainly better than Le Carre's new one:

Lawton is an exceptionally good writer.

Just started "Theodore Rex" by Edmund Morris, after finishing the first of the trilogy, "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt." I never realized that he was such a prolific author, and probably a genius of sorts. Fascinating character. (And it must "kill" him that he's right next to Jefferson on Mt. Rushmore...)

Anchoret · February 28th, 2011, 09:01 AM

Ooh, I've requested this one, too:

A sequel to this:

DaBender · February 28th, 2011, 10:10 AM

"Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards" by Al Kooper. Should be required reading for gigging musicians.

hamsandwhich87 · February 28th, 2011, 12:42 PM

Life by Keith Richards and Shutter Island. Just finished Red Dragon, Silence of the lambs, Panic and Mr. Nice.

I have very high hopes that this will be a very telling book. Chuck was never one to hold anything back.

Is that the one with the picture of Chuck shirtless on the cover, holding his ES?? I love that book.

Picking this up at the library today:

Vladicaster · February 28th, 2011, 03:54 PM
