Here's What I'm Reading Right Now
My leisure reading time has gone down in 2013 for several reasons. I'll probably have to readjust my books read goal. Anyway, I just started a new book, The Girl with the Long Green Heart by Lawrence Block, which I've heard good things about. So, I'm looking forward to it. I mentioned my reading it on my Facebook wall, and it sparked an exchange. One FB reader quipped, "That Lawrence Block writes some good books. You mark my words, he's gonna be big someday." Mr. Block came back with, "Nah, never happen..." I got a chuckle out of it. Of course it has happened. I checked my Goodreads list of books I've read and count up 16 titles written by Mr. Block. That's a fair few read. The Matt Scudder series is a "comfort read" or old stand by I blogged about a few days ago. I saw him at a crime fiction festival a few years back talking during a panel discussion. It was a lot of fun, and everybody had a good time. Tonight I'll be getting back to The Girl with the Long Green Heart. I hope your current reads are also every bit as good.

Haven't read The Girl with the Long Green Hear (wating for your review) but I've read every Matthew Scudder book I could find. I have a major crush on Matt.

just finished the translated letters of sister marie de incarnation that she wrote from new france/quebec in the early 17th century. Included was a description of a severe earthquake. interesting.

I was living in san francisco in 1989. downtown san francisco looked like a warzone. dust everywhere, bricks, broken stucco and glass littered the streets. during the earthquake, the cryslal chandelier in my flat went from one side of the room to the other. and the flat itself moved 3 ft. to the west then 3 ft to the east before settling. hell of a thing.
