Book Club!

Just Finished: Living To Tell The Tale, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Ever seen "Big Fish?" This book by one of my all-time favorites is a semi-autobiographical/semi-tall tale-spinning look at the formative years of the Colombian William Faulkner. Highly recommended.

Currently Reading: Hard Revolution, George Pelecanos. I'm about 80 pages into this DC crime story slipped to me by The Frugal Hipster and liking it so far, even though I need to draw a chart to keep track of the characters. Pelacanos is a contributing writer for "The Wire" and this book lets it show.

Up Next: Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. The book that I just HAD to run out and buy at midnight the Friday it went on sale is still sitting on my shelf unopened.
