"Tucker Coe is a pseudonym for Donald E. Westlake, famous for his hilarious Dortmunder series. But I really like these Mitchell Tobin mysteries too. The one where he had to go undercover in a sort of halfway house for mental patients was great. Westlake is just a good writer. He chooses his words carefully so that you don't even realize how good he is. It's like seeing Olympic ice skaters." — Mar 05, 2026 12:46PM

"I didnt know that in addition to fiction he wrote non-fiction articles too. And he's good at it. I can't imagine how much time it took for some of those articles. He had to interview lots of people, get the basic facts, etc. then somehow pull it all together in an article. Also some of ideas for his fiction books came from real life stuff!" — Oct 13, 2024 03:13PM

Just like the blessed must endeavour to see the living classes as tools and not feel pity at the plight of the thankful, so must a king be cruel and learn to see people as a means to an end and not as lives.”
what a way to run a kingdom. glad I don't live there.
