About meLoves:
- wife & son (the most)
- books (many)
- my (now digital) music collection
- guitars (mine)
- coffee (large)
- (another) beer
- scotland (all)
- librarything (brilliant)
- kindness (meditate on it.)
Dislikes Strongly:
- closed minds (who are convinced they know more than they do and thus won't consider others' opinions)
- politicians (see above)
- hot weather (here)
- (i fight) sleep
- those who do the same thing but expect a different outcome (defined: insanity)
- political correctness for political correctness sake (you either feel that way or you don't - many just hide it now)
- Hallmark holidays (that's all of them folks - don't be thankful, or tell your significant other you love them, or be giving one day a year - DO IT ALL YEAR LONG.)
About my libraryMy taste in books has a pretty broad range. I was a late bloomer when it comes to reading. I was the kid in school who simply didn't read it and took my best stab at the quiz/test/report. Now, I can't get enough - go figure.
As such, I'm still finding the voices in literature that speak to me. I'm reading whatever strikes my fancy and loving it.

Just a quick note to let you know that my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available. Thought you might like it since it's been compared to Larry Brown, whom I noticed you like. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks for these comments - nice to know someone has read a review of mine.
A word regards Dawkins - I don't rate The God Delusion as one of his better efforts in terms of the "readability" or "literary attainment" so please take it from me that something like Blind Watchmaker or Selfish Gene or Extended Phenotype would just blow you away on all fronts.
Regards,
Mark
