Classic Trash discussion

This topic is for those who wish to discuss the book in progress. No spoilers please.

Sara Paretsky : Sue Grafton :: Dean R. Koontz : Stephen King

I am skipping this one. I tried reading it years ago, and just couldn't connect with the main character. I gave it another shot a few weeks ago, and the book still wasn't something I wanted to continue. Not horrendous, but just not for me.

I am enjoying it so far. I am a sucker for a hard-boiled private dick.

I’m a huge fan of the alphabet mysteries, and it killed me when Sue Grafton died right after completing “Y is for Yesterday.” I often thought it would be a great homage if they made a “Z” book full of short stories about Kinsey Milhone written by various female detective novelists. Sara Paretsky would definitely be at the top of that list of must-have contributors.

I remember seeing a movie on tv starring Kathleen Turner as the main character, Vic. I really liked the character and I've always been a KT fan. So as I'm reading this, I keep hearing/seeing her. :P

My late wife read many of the books in the series, but I never got around to them. Most of my library was disposed of when I moved from California, and mostly read Kindle books as I have just moved back to the west coast for hopefully my last move as I am getting to old for such things. One chapter in and I am liking it so far.

Moving is the worst. I always joke that if I have to do it again, I am just burning the house down and walking away.

Almost did that this time. Moving to South Carolina I rented a 21' truck. Back to Oregon 6 years later everything into a 6x12 trailer. South Carolina was the 8th state I have lived in during my 70 years. Moved in with my son so lots of things were sold or taken to the dump.

The worst part about moving is hanging up pictures again lol. It usually takes me 6-8 months after the move to get around to it
