Rob- I saw that you recently added "Already Dead". If you haven't read it yet, it's a fantastic book. I am a huge fan of Charlie Huston and love everything I've read by him. Enjoy!
BTW- We have ALOT of books in common! Very cool!

Hey,

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:

Take care,

Hi Rob,
I just accidentally deleted (closed the Firefox tab it was in with a misplaced click) a much longer comment which I spent more than 15 minutes composing :-( The gist was that we share an amazing number of authors and books (check out my author cloud compared to yours). I also own approximately 25% of the books you list in your library.

You appear to have at least a passing interest in Lisp (viz. Patrick Winston in your authors) from which I infer that you might be in the computer field. Same here: I have been a software developer for going on 30 years, since I left my former life as a mathematics professor at Eastern Michigan University.

The one author conspicuous by his absence from your list is P. G. Wodehouse. May I heartily recommend him (you can see that he looms large in my author cloud).
