Just finished up Shadow Cats: The True Story of NYC's Animal Underground which is pretty interesting if occasionally flaky (a cat psychic?) and am about to start The Stooges - The Illustrated Authorized Story.

VANILLA RIDE by Joe Lansdale. Hap and Leonard pretty much back in form, although it does contain this:
...we discovered that the two thugs were indeed napping by the Ford. While they were napping some red stuff had run out of them and onto the ground and had been mixed up and thinned by the rain so that it looked like spilled strawberry Kool-Aid.
It also unnecessarily guest-stars (and name drops) a whole bunch of previous characters, like the Simpsons movie, so there's still some flab & pad to it, but mainly it's a straight-up run of bad decisions and bloody consequences. Ends on a nice downbeat, has me waiting for the next one.
They stop off to visit Robert E. Howard's house at one point:
... and then we had to go over and see the Robert E. Howard house because Leonard liked his Conan stories and wouldn't hear of passing it up. I tried to explain to him that we were in a hurry because we had to find and shoot someone, but he wasn't moved, so we did a tour there and then got back on the road.
In the car Leonard said, "I get killed, I know I've seen where one of my favorite authors lived and shot himself to death."
"You get killed, what you saw isn't going to matter."
"Good point," Leonard said.
I liked that, so I don't consider it padding. Much.

VANILLA RIDE was my favourite Hap and Leonard by far. Great book.
Ian, how is that Stooges book?
Currently reading BRONSON, about the English nutjob inmate who can't seem to stop getting in trouble.
