Yeah, I got an email from P&C about that book, I believe Per Jensen spoke about it on the PM podcast some time back.

I'm about half way through "She Has Her Mother's Laugh" by Carl Zimmer. It's non-fiction . . . a history of genetic evolution. I know it sounds pretty heavy but it's really quite readable and fascinating.

"The King in Yellow" by Robert Chambers. It's a fun little book of short stories. Kinda like H.P. Lovecraft.

I am reading a biography of Laetitia Pilkington, a trouble making rabble rousing witty funny woman of the 1700s. "A remarkable character who embodied the scandal, energy and poignancy of a time when literature and gossip were inseperable"
Written my Norma Clarke.

I know it sounds pretty heavy but it's really quite readable and fascinating. Somewhat along this line I just finished a podcast called Bear Brook, true crime thing but lots of talk of environmental isotopes and DNA ancestry.. it was amazing. Privacy issues like if a cousin adds to a database you are pretty much on there as well. I will check out the book. |

Finished 'Of mice and men's and moved onto 'I,the Jury' Blame Stacy Ketch and the 80s TV version of Mike Hammer That's quite a shift in tastes, but, I had to laugh, because I read "I, the Jury" for the same reason, even after years of my father talking about the original releases of the Mike Hammer books. Reminds me, I don't recall much of it, so it's time to comb through the book shelves and find that thing and re-read it. Short if IIRC. |

I once used that very book to summon the King In Yellow during a D&D campaign. hahaha As a cleric, I agreed to create a church in his name if he saved our lives. Fun game. Fun book too. Definitely a must for any Lovecraft fans. |

Billy Budd is in the mail. Once I realized the baccy was named after a Melville book, I had to. In the middle of Andersonville.
Next will be The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane. Much more my speed. haha |

Re-reading "Tortilla Flat" by John Steinbeck. No matter how many times I read this, I laugh out loud, frequently.

Lee Child's 61 Hours...a Reacher novel...pretty good. I have all of his books...what with my old memory...by the time I finish one book, I can go back and start to reread them again...like getting a new book. He has somewheres in the neighborhood of a dozen Reacher novels...I just keep rereading ones from a year or so ago...wife thinks this is really funny...I tell her just wait til your my age...you'll be doing the same thing.
Just like James Lee Burke...plenty to read and reread...they are worth it...right oldcajun123?
