I took your recommendation and am quickly hooked.

The book is long, but moves along with the author's efficient story-telling.

Jeepers, it had a movie deal three years before its release. I wonder how the author made out on that.

Cronin joined the English department at Rice just after I graduated. He no longer has to do that teaching stuff now.

I started the book and got through a bit but I have to agree. As soon as they started talking about guys hanging upside down and gutting rabbits I got a lot less interested. I will go back to it eventually but I moved on to something else for now. I am in the mood for something a little more space-y so I switched over to Constitution by Nick Webb. I'm not even really excited about that but some of the other books I am wanting to read (continuations of series) either aren't out yet or in other cases I just can't bring myself to pay for them until I finish the books I already bought.

Jonathan Franzen has a new book out. Freedom was pretty awful. I don't think I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt (and $20 for a hardback) this time around.
