    He was a very poor writer in the beginning, but a great storyteller. His writing is still quirky but is a lot better, (there are like 76 LLRs now). He has also done a few other series like Intended Consequences, Mean Streets and Sex, guns and rock and roll. Still good quick entertainment. He's on my auto buy list. Just plain like his stuff.

    Well, I have just about all of the Jack Reacher paperback books, looking to trade them for other books.

    Primarily interested in quality detective stories, I would like to get a collection of Raymond Chandler, Patterson's Alex Cross, maybe some decent SiFi (I have already read all of Asimov, Heinlein, Herbert, Anderson, etc.), looking for recent authors of quality reading.

    PM me, can meet in NoCO area almost anytime.

    Thanks for looking.

    Currently working my way through the Sherlock Homes catalog.

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing holds up a lot better than most writers of his era.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    I just started reading How to Win Friends and Influence People. I should have read this years ago.

    I have the hardbound "The Annotated Sherlock Holmes Collection", from the early 80's. Two huge volumes. One of the most prized collections in my library. Many people have read from those volumes in the last 35+ years.

    Like Justin I have been revisiting classic stories from long ago. The Mars stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Have always been a fan of the John Carter character and amazed at how ERB explained "advanced" technology before there was advanced technology.

    Also the inspiration for the drawing in MrAK's avatar.

    Indeed, it warms my heart that you recognized my avatar. The Warlord of Mars series has been a favorite of mine since childhood, and has been reread a handful of times. I’ve even received a tattoo of Deja Thoris as painted by Frank Frazetta.

    Certainly a perfect subject for Frazetta.

    My middle name is Baskerville, as in The Hound of the Baskervilles.

    I would recommend the Edmund Rostand translation of Cyrano De Bergerac to everyone. Just beautiful.
