Books 103-105
Nov. 21st, 2009 07:22 amI was fighting a cold last week, so I went with some comfort books rather than tackling something new.
103) The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril (Reread): Paul Malmot's debut novel held up just as well on a second read. I recommend it to all fans of the pulp era.
104) The Great Train Robbery (reread): To my mind this is the best of Michael Crichton's books. Pulled off the shelf to help with the upcoming CFalk game, I wonder if there's a way to use Mr. Pierce in my plotting....
105) Neither Here Nor There (reread): one of Bill Bryson's travel books, this one recounts his various trips bumming around Europe. Written in 1990 or thereabouts it is interesting to see how much Europe has changed just since then, though some of those changes - his discussion of how lovely Sarajevo is, for example - were not for the better.
