LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1) Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux: An overland trip from Cairo to Capetown as
Paul stops at some places he'd taught at in the 60s/70s(?). A fascinating look
at Africa on a human level, person to person.
2) Merlin's Godson by H Warner Munn: Merlin and the last Roman legionnaires
leave Britain and come to the new world. No classic, but an interesting read.
3) Ash Wednesday by Chet Williams: Blue ghosts come to one town in
Pennsylvania. What do the townspeople do? Apparently not much of
anything. Not really a 'horror' novel in the usual sense of the word, more
of a psychological look at the townspeople's reactions to the ghosts.
4) The Black Ice by Michael Connelly: Det. Harry Bosch encounters the
latest drugs from Mexico. Well-written and interesting. I think this is the 2nd
Harry Bosch story I've read, enjoyed them both.
5) A Cannibal In Manhattan by Tama Janowitz: Well, this was an odd one.
Yes, there is a cannibal. No, he doesn't eat anyone - at least not on purpose.
The book is more of a social satire by seeing how we live as seen through the
eyes of the cannibal; who is not uneducated, just naive. But the real strange
part is the photos that are in the book. Not taken for the book, but real photos,
some from decades ago, that illustrate the novel.
6) The Cook by Harry Kressing: An old book (1965) about a cook, and the
two families he interacts with. Can't really tell you much, because then it would
give away the whole plot line. Suffice it to say "YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK"
Look for it somewhere, bound to find a copy in a used book store somewhere.
