Ah, I read that one back in October (but in an older, different format). Originally Posted by The Darknight Detective

I've put my McBain reading on a temporary hold because the next one in the series for me (Lady, Lady I Did It (1961), the 14th) is at a library that's been temporarily closed since late November due to repairs from water damage (I think I read that a pipe burst during some colder-than-usual weather). They currently hope to re-open at the end of the month. Originally Posted by MajorHoy

(NOTE: My copy is a bit more worn than the one in this image.)

I recall when you read it, MH. It most likely will be a few years before I read your next story in the series, since I'm in the middle of quite a few different series. I wish I had started reading McBain back in the '80s so I would have been caught up by now. Originally Posted by MajorHoy

Slowly working through the Morse collected edition boxset. The box itself is too tight though, it got ripped almost instantly.

I'm reading Eric Idle's biography. So disappointed that there is no mention of the role he will always be remembered for.
The Gypsies had no home. The Doors had no bass.
Does our reality determine our fiction or does our fiction determine our reality?
Whenever the question comes up about who some mysterious person is or who is behind something the answer will always be Frank Stallone.

Recently started:
The Case of the Dangerous Dowager by Erle Stanley Gardner
< "A Perry Mason Mystery" >
(William Morrow edition published April, 1937 /
Pocket Book edition July, 1953 - 14th printing)
NOTE: I'm assuming this copy use to belong to my Dad, since it was on a shelf of other old paperback books that would have been more his style of reading (and my Mom doesn't know anything about having ever owned / read it).
By the way, the image I found on the web, but that's the way the copy I'm reading looks.Last edited by MajorHoy; 01-10-2019 at 01:55 PM.

Wreck-Gar. The role Eric Idle will always be remembered for and no mention of it. Originally Posted by Malvolio

Red Harvest by Joe Schreiber. Not as good as Death Troopers which it serves as the prequel to, but still a decent read.

Picked up the first two 13th Doctor novels, will grab the third on Tuesday. I just finished The Good Doctor. One of the better DW novels in my opinion. I can't tell if it is still NSA though...

Paperbacks from Hell : Written by Hendricks, author of the equally good My Best Friend's exorcism. It features all these crazy try-hard Stephen King books from the 70s and 80's.
One book it did'nt mention was IMP a 1980's horror about a feral boy locked under the house by a cruel mother . He gets out and causes all sorts of mayhem. Would anyone like a companion book of novels and their covers NOT featured in the Hendricks book?
