Nov 2009: Short Story month
As previously mentioned on this blog, I took a break for reading full length novels to catch up on the stack of short stories collection I have kicking around. I fulfilled my one Hard Case Crime a month by listening to the Audio Book of The Colorado Kid by Stephen King. My one Donald Westlake a month came from reading a bunch of his short stories. I do have to note that I started out strong with the short stories, but faded at the end of the month when I got my hands on a copy of the Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day by Jack Boulware and Silke Tudor which I am still making my way though.
So what did I read this month? Here's the list:
From A Loud Humming Sound Came from Above by Johnny Strike
Night Flamers
Other Ports, Other Hells
From Expletive Deleted
Lucky Bastard by Jason Starr
Pearls by Reed Farrel Colman
Spit by Ken Bruen
Find Me by Anthony Neil Smith
From Guns of the West
Lay My Money Down by Bill Crider
Deadlock by James Reasoner

Gunny by Bill Pronzini
From Riverworld and other stoires by Philip Jose Farmer
The Volcano

From The Curious Facts Preceding My Execution by Donald Westlake
The Curious Facts Preceding My Execution

Dec 2009? back to reading full length novels, I am going to try and hit a couple of Westlake/Stark books, along with at least part of the books that I had slated to be read in 2009 that I haven't gotten to yet-- and some other stuff.
