It's been awhile since I've read a crime novel and I always liked the Dennis Lehane crime novels that take place there, and I've been meaning to watch Killing Them Softlyso I figured this was as good a book to read as any.
Fantastic film.

You mean Dan Browny? I know exactly what you mean. Okay for the time it takes to actually read the book, but after that you have no desire to ever read it again.

That's a good way of putting it. I want to leave a book feeling as if my mind (or my heart, or soul, or whatever) just got bigger... not with the same feeling I get after watching a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory.

I think you'd really enjoy this



And if you do, check out Jonathan Livingston Seagull as well. I often recommend this author to customers who enjoy Paulo Coelho - it's light and a quick read but beautiful. It's spiritual for those who are while still meaningful to those of us who aren't.

Frederic Forsyth's The Devil's Alternative. Old stuff rather (published in 1979), but it's still good one.

Yeah I've heard that from a lot of people. I've also heard the beat down Ray Liotta's character takes is one of the most uncomfortable scenes to ever be filmed. I'm hoping it will end up on Netflix sometime in the near future. Unfortunately I'm not enjoying the book all too much, but as it's so short I'm persevering.

Forsyth's finished, now it's time for some Polish classic - "Ludzie bezdomni" (The Homeless People) by Stefan Żeromski.

I just finished reading this. It was pretty creepy and confronting, especially since it was based on a true story and especially with the Amanda Berry case happening fairly recently in the US...
