I'm almost finished with my last Jack Reacher book, Tripwire. It's damn good, as is the entire series. I'm seriously going to be at a loss when I've finished this. 24 novels in the series, and I've read the vast majority of them during this shitstorm of a pandemic and they've been a terrific way to escape things for a while. I've burned through one of them (average length of 500 pages) a week. Just miles above the typical thriller.I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.

Originally posted by Darcy Parker View PostOnce you finish the Reacher books, I highly recommend the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly. Great reads, and different enough from the Prime show that even the books that were adapted for the show are still well worth reading if you've already watched those seasons.I don't go to church.

Having trouble focusing enough to read a book.
So going thru issue 4 of Sleazefiend Magazine. In the middle of a 20 page or so piece on the history of Peepbooths.

Well, I finally finished BLOOD GAMES. That was a chore. I think Laymon got quadruple pay for the use of the word "rump" this time; in a few instances, it appeared more than once on the same page! Occasionally he did use "buttocks" (to show the dual nature of the item), and one time "rear end." (Perhaps he never heard of the terms fanny, keister, posterior, derriere, tush, duff, can, hindquarters, fundament, behind, booty, bottom, bum, backside, or even ass?)
Anyway, the simple plot - unfolding in excruciating detail over the span of a 467-page book - involved 5 females who went to college together being stalked during their annual "adventure," this year at an abandoned resort where a massacre had taken place. Imagine a slasher film with lots of uninteresting flashbacks and only one protagonist murder, and make it the length of TITANIC. One of the most tedious novels I've ever read. That said, I'm moving on to the next chronological Laymon I have, ENDLESS NIGHT, and hoping for the best.VHS will never die!
