LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1) Napalm & Silly Putty by George Carlin: 2 inventions of the 20th century. A sometimes humorous look at the mind of George Carlin. Of course, he was funnier when he was stoned.

2) Mary, Mary by Ed McBain: Another murder mystery in Calusa Florida, with lawyer Matthew Hope unraveling the threads. And yes, she is contrary, and she does have a garden...

3) Return Of The Black Widowers by Isaac Asimov: Once again Henry the waiter solves all the puzzles. Unfortunately, it does wear thin after awhile.

4) The Quorum by Kim Newman: The Faust story updated to the 20th century. What if there
were 4 friends, and 3 of them could have everything for as long as they screwed up the 4th
friends life - without letting him know. If you could do it - would you??

5) The Beast by A.E.VanVogt: Another old SF novel better left forgotten.

6) X-Ray by Ray Davies: Kinks frontman tells his story by pretending to be someone
else hearing his story from himself. Confusing, yeah, at times. But an interesting look
at the Kinks story.
