When the student challenged him to be more specific, he said, "I think of them in my head." It's my opinion that if you look at the world around you, you have the choice to either be dispirited or inspired. If you're looking for inspiration, it's there in abundance.(less)

I wanted to see whether books that had been made into successful movies were still worth reading. So, I read The Exorcist, Rebecca, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Starship Troopers, Fight Club, Frankenstein, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Natural, The Desperate Hours, and The Road. I'm writing up my thoughts and will share them in a series of blog posts later.(less)

Vipers' Tangle by François Mauriac
Rate this book
Clear rating
Intriguing, bittersweet, and tragic account of a sad miser's final days, as he comes to term with the path his life has taken. An all-too-human cautionary tale about the danger of allowing wounded feelings to fester. Stunning in its intimacy. ...more

Sentimental Education by Gustave Flaubert
Rate this book
Clear rating
I gave this book 150 pages, but nothing of consequence had happened nor was any threatened. I had been hoping for something immersed in mid 19th century French history. I got a bunch of lazy, entitled, empty-headed hedonists scheming adultery. Boring ...more

Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Cosby
Blacktop Wasteland
by S.A. Cosby (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Well told tale of action and suspense. Some nice twists and turns. A satisfying read, undercut by the illogical mitigation of consequences for the protagonist, in an ending which seems dismissive of the weighty crimes committed.

Ripley's Game by Patricia Highsmith

The third installment in the Ripley saga is very engaging, escalating to a climax that is both shocking and inevitable. I admired the way Ms. Highsmith managed numerous points of view, even within single scenes. We are introduced to new characters in ...more

A beautiful book. Life stories intertwine around a single dark event. From the language of the dialogue to the pacing and the descriptions, this intricate little novel weaves an epic tale of humanity against the backdrop of a rural world that no long ...more

The New Centurions by Joseph Wambaugh

I recalled the author from the bestsellers lists of the 1970s and decided to check him out. Not the most literary writer, but the action sequences were intense, the realism of every situation was stark, and the ending was poignant. Good read for anyo ...more

Submission by Michel Houellebecq

This is a truly harrowing satire of the present/future decline and fall of France, as told through the eyes of a passive, hedonistic academic. It cuts to the heart of what happens when a nation's intelligentsia, charged with preserving its identity a ...more

I read this first Joe Pickett novel immediately after reading the first Longmire novel, Cold Dish, and unfortunately it pales in comparison. It's a fairly tight, well paced thriller, but a few issues irked me. I didn't immediately warm to the central ...more

Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy
Rate this book
Clear rating
Impressive, sprawling work. Much to admire, but relentlessly violent and generally nihilistic. Still, a haunting, cautionary tale for any abused soul contemplating a ride with the devil. He never sleeps and no one ever escapes.

The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson

Clear rating
Highly readable, engaging story with a compelling plot and great characters. It's a little long and some descriptions are overwritten. Also, Walt Longmire seems to have a bit too much of an encyclopedic knowledge of English literature for the life he ...more
