Richard Austin? And David Murray, who is Everton Weekes' son (just learned this yesterday)?
Yeah, I just read that this morning. I haven't got to Austin yet. Lawrence Rowe, Alvin Kallicharan and Herbert Chang so far.
Both ended up pretty *smile* up after the fall out from the tours, if I remember rightly.
Don't read John Grishams the Reckoning. Must have been a contractual obligation. I know he isn't TJohn Mortimer but generally makes for escapist entertainment.
I just got 'The Dark Remains' which was an unfinished prequel to William Mcilvanney's Laidlaw trilogy. I'm pretty excited to get into it. Mcilvanney is considered the father of 'Tartan Noir' and has also been referred to as the Scottish Camus. The unfinished book has been completed by Ian Rankin. Anyway I highly reccomend the Laidlaw trilogy-I reckon it would appeal to many PREers.
so what? you finish your porridge and then slit your wrists, or skip the porridge?
Referring more to the lead character's existential musings. Fantastic books though!

An incredible story, superbly researched and written.

Went to Hemingway’s home he lived in during the 30’s down in Key West a few years ago. It was really cool. What was even cooler was Sloppy Joe’s bar in town where he used to regularly write himself off at. I decided I must try and emulate his drinking efforts in there. I was reasonably successful….
Yes. I was Hemingford for a day (and night).Did you "write" yourself off
Just finished the big switch.
