I already finished and reviewed Buntline special.

I still think "Sandman Slim" would be a good read. Not too long, it's urban fantasy... we have a lot of fans of stuff like that here already. The series is only up to book 2 if we liked it and someone wants to keep going with it. But Sandman Slim is the first volume and it's available in paperback.

I'm kind of with Allen on the next book...maybe something not fantasy...maybe war or true crime...these are a couple in my amazon cart:

I read the Alienist when it came out. It may be 600 pages, but I don't remember it being a long read.

Still no pick?

I don't know!!!!! I'm confused as to who was supposed to pick.

I'm fine with reading war books like those mentioned above so don't worry about my girlish feelings.

catch me if you can sounds interesting, and I haven't seen the movie (if it's based on that)

I'm up for it. A little non-fiction to shake things up.

sounds good

by **Allen** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:18 am

Fine with me.

I really liked the movie, so reading the book will be interesting.

My biggest complaint is the weather. I really don't like the cold. It even snowed a couple weeks ago (3 inches). I had never really seen snow fall before. Cold in L.A. is 60 (18 or so C). Here, we are lucky if we get within 10 degrees F of that.

Today, the high reached 32. (0 degrees C)

Other than that, it's okay. I miss the food in L.A.
