A little post-WWII Crime for You

This is the other great novella I recently read. And yes I will be watching the movie as soon as I can. Plus I will have to return to Vienna and do a The Third Man tour of the city. The book's post-war setting in a zone run Vienna is interesting, as is the language and style of writing.

I love you Holly...just like everyone else. Is there a movie? Smashing!

I loved Holly so much that when I finished her story I ordered a copy for a friend. The language is so unique, especially for 21st century ears. It reminded me a little of The Great Gatsby or Lolita in that the language was very much of the time. Anyway, it's a short novella that you should go read as soon as you can.

Trite, poorly written garbage....No really.

So this was a complete impulse buy at Wal-Mart. I was reading A Handmaid's Tale, but decided that I needed something lighter. As it turns out, one should never judge a book by its cover (the lettering is all raised and fun to touch). Also, it seems, don't trust the New York Times best seller nonsense. Furthermore, Reese Witherspoon cannot be trusted either. Ok, writing all that makes me realize I am an idiot to be played by such fine marketing. Ah well, pass this on by.
