But I'm often surprised. I had just written Charles Willeford off as a guy who writes the same tawdry book over and over when I read, recommended on this list, SHARK FILLED CUSTARD. That was both thought provoking and brilliantly executed piece of writing. So I'll give at least one of your recommendations a chance. Thanks for the actual reply to my question.
