Harlan Coben: Imaginative Writing Man
STAY CLOSE is the title of the new suspense book by the creative, interesting suspense novelist the sleek and remarkable fellow, Harlan Coben. I recently finished reading this book and let me tell you people this man can really get the job done. He is a real wordsmith and like the grand words biz fella Lee Child the guy Mr. Coben can come up with satisfying yarns that hit us deliciously on so many levels. I think the indicator of a good book is whether or not it is a real page turner. Well, this new Coben work falls beautifully into that category. Our culture needs all kinds of quasi-cultural dimensions and writers like Harlan Coben do well in providing that needed brand of creative boost that's good for all of us.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
