hi everybody!
just finished parker's _godwulf manuscript_. that didn't take
long! haha. its less than 200 pages. it didn't have any deep
underlying meaning that i saw but it was a great story and i
liked it. i'm going to try and get the next five or six he
wrote, and then after those decide if i want to
continue.
and hey! the manuscript book did have a pretty upbeat ending.
nobody died in it that wasn't guilty. so that shoots my
theory about hardboiled endings being only minimally upbeat.
live and read and learn.
for now i'm moving on to james lee burke's _black cherry
blues_. the cover says it won an edgar so i figure its gotta
be good. a long time ago i read _morning for flamingos_ and i
don't exactly recall the story but i remember it didn't
excite me enough at the time i read it to make me want to
read more of him.
