The big difficult to get into at first, I found myself gradually more and more deeply immersed in the world and language of Kerouac. A rich and rewarding read. Highly recommended!!

Adriaan Aarkley is on page 69 of 364 of Waltz into Darkness (American Mystery Classics)
Interesting premise which is marred by it's slow-pacing,mediocre prose and woeful predictability. I enjoyed it however I felt it could have been truly suspenseful had the narrative been pruned by a hundred pages or so.

Adriaan Aarkley is reading The Bride Wore Black (American Mystery Classics)
Suspenseful and captivating. This first crime novel of Cornell Woolrich is easily his best. And enjoyable read from start to finish.

Adriaan Aarkley is finished with Parrish
A unique Bildungsroman set in Connecticut during the era of tobacco farming. Well paced and suspenseful enough to make you want to keep reading straight through until the end. I can't wait to see the film adaptation with Claudette Colbert and Troy Donahue. Highly recommended!
