Anyone remember the monkey named Mohawk @ / near Westland mall?

Just curious.

Nasty little beast.

NHP's are one the most dangerous 2 legged creatures a human would ever encounter. Throw in they can literally rip you limb from limb in a stand up no weapons match. I'd give them a wide berth if i had to.

Alister McClean, "Santorini". Excellent read, nukes, terrorism, suspense. Well written.

One of my favorite authors in the 60's through 80's.
Alistair MacLean wrote some of the old standards: The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra, Where Eagles Dare, Breakheart Pass, River of Death, etc.
Santorini was his last novel, written in 1986 and he died in 1987, only 64 years old. The book was published by his estate after his death.
You got me wanting to find the old books and read them again. Want to see if they have the same excitement as they did when they first were written.

I have a copy of The Satan Bug, if you're interested.

Started reading "Not Enough Faith To Be An Athiest". Family member suggested it, something about questioning evolution.

Thanks for the offer. I first read it when it was published under his pseudonym "Ian Stuart".
When it was published again under his real name, I bought it again. I got into it and thought it sounded very familiar.
That's when I learned he had published a couple of books using the name Ian Stuart.

I was going to try to find his non-fiction book Captain Cook.

A Gentleman In Moscow, by Amor Towles. I can't remember a book I've enjoyed more in quite some time.

Re: Curios George...I had the opportunity to look at one of them again a while back. Wow, not nearly as exciting as I remember. Beat the heck out of the Dick an Jane series, though. "See Dick, see Dick run." Pretty heady stuff.

"Tiamat's Wrath" the latest "Expanse" series installment.

Any body here read any of the Long Lonely Road series or any others by TJ Reeder?

I read the early ones. Enjoyed first half dozen or so. Good story teller, not very good writer. Modern version of dime store novels. Cheap quick entertainment. Never felt I got cheated out of my buck or hour time to read.
