I must reply here because I am a big reader. There are certain books I would like to refer you guys to if you don't mind. First of all Dennis Lehane is a Boston boy out of Dorchester who writes the best detective novels imagineable. The movie 'Run Baby Run' was his book as well as the movie 'Mystic River.'
Secondly Jerezy Kosinski has written a classic book, 'The Painted Bird."Short stories of Joseph Roth, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers, The Big Snow by David Park, Butterfly Weed by Donald Harrington, Dostoyevsky, Johseph Conrad, Steinbeck, especially of Mice and Men, Pearl Buck's The Good Earth, Benjamin Netanahu's book, An Endurable Peace, Rodney Doyle's books, especially Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha, Garth Stein's book narrated by a dog, yeh really, How to Race in the Rain and lastly I recommend in Cambrige, at 47 Mt. Auburn Street, Grolier's Book Store, the best and only bookstore in America that deals only with poetry, and make no mistake,poetry is just incredible when done well.
I am sorry if I was a bit longwinded here, but I love books and enjoy passing along to others the joy of reading. I do not deal in trash here. Most of my reading involves only high grade writing, like our Celtics, another high grade product.
