Book Recommendation time!

You simply MUST READ John Dunning's Booked to Die, and its sequel, The Bookman's Wake, featuring Cliff Janeway. I'm not one for American hardboiled detective fiction, and the paperback cover for BTD looks like -- well -- ye gods! but they are marvelous. Dunning's a brilliant writer: his prose is effortless and his banter is to die for. I've known about these books for several years, but have recently reread BTD and have to spread the word. The sad thing is, he hasn't published another Janeway in the several years since TBW, and the door's wide open for more mayhem. Come on, Janeway, you can't peacefully ride off into the sunset, you know you want more trouble. I'd give him some trouble, heh heh. Not really, Janeway would just laugh at the likes of me. *cough* Anyway...just go read, you clowns.
