I really like the Inspector Morse stories

Peter Lovesey's Sergeant Cribb Mysteries were made into a TV series in 1980s starring Alan Dobie

Nice one Shawn - hope you keep feeling better too 🐬🌞

Better late than never. 😀 I'm afraid I can't shed any light on the books featured. The only crime fiction I'm really familiar with are those written by the Queen of Crime herself, Agatha Christie; Ellen Hart, with her Jane Lawless mysteries; and Phil Rickman's Reverend Merrily Watkins mysteries.

Not just a good book, but a magnificent novel. I read it in the early 80's and have looped through the text so many times I've lost track. It's a book that either speaks to you and draws you in ...or it doesn't and you walk away muttering. Delany has a way with language ...a prose/poetry that spoke to 14 year old me wandering into the City for the first time. Have you tried Babel-17?

Great conversation!

Travels in Arabia Deserta looks amazing!!! I'm about to read: Matsuo Bashō: The Narrow Road to the Deep North and other Travel Sketches!

Nice one Shawn

Very nice indeed!

The joy of collecting!!!

Great woes! It's the little details that count!!

Wasn’t Hugh Walpole mentioned in the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch?

Of course, the important thing is to have the other 25 volumes of _The Complete Peanuts_ in the same format. I see you have Volume One on your shelf. 😀

Nice woe Shawn 🐬🏝️

Madness! I can't imagine the rationale for making them _slightly_ bigger.

Thankfully, I don't suffer from this particular form of mental illness 😀. Hope all is well.

I often think it would be great to have books in a uniform size displayed on my shelves - I've recently replaced a couple of hardback book club editions with original published editions - it's a start, I guess, but it always comes to financial considerations and available book space. (although, come what may, I'm never going to get rid of those book club editions)

Ah yes. My collection is a tiny fraction of yours but I’ve had this issue a few times. It’s not about resale value, it’s about how it looks on my shelf as I survey my book kingdom…I mean collection. 😉

Sundown, such a great song!

Yesterday was Stephen King’s birthday 🥳

Nice haul! I’ve also got that Rosetta Stone book on my TBR.

Hi Shawn and guys! I enjoyed Sunday reads. I couldn't stay for all of the live stream but when I watched it back One view Cornwall commented he used to walk past Spike Milligan's house in the 80s which is amazing!!!

Some interesting books Shawn. Hope you do a couple of review videos.

I honestly didn't really expect you to show those old catalogues. They came from when I hepled my best friend clear his late brother's house. When I got catalogues like that, like most people, I chucked them out once they were out of date. When I found that heap of them, I thought who do I know who would actually want them, and you instantly came to mind. Had you turned them down, they'd have ended up in the recycling bin. 🙂

Great variety and they all sound interesting

Nice haul. Love the varied histories. Thanks for sharing! Glad you are feeling better!

That’s a mix. The Huber sounds intriguing.

History of the Bed 🛌 looks an engaging read!!

Nobody messes with Shawn's books!!!

The Captain and "The Cannibal" looks really interesting. I love that kind of stuff. Majestic River and the Charles Huber ones also sound really good! Oddly, I'm now intrigued by the history of the bedroom. 🤣

I think the UN will condemn your legal system for being barbaric 😂

You’re too kind. 😂

😂

Pretty easy tag!

You are too funny!

I really loved the nuance you had for each prompt 😉

Highlighting is okay then. 😳

Mr Standfast, we have a job opening for magistrate in your borough. I see you have your own black cap…

😆 I want the book to experience me as I experience it. I’m guilty of quite a few of those things 🫣

Hello! I love how every single one was the death penalty, lol. Love it. Thank you for doing the tag, lol. Fantastic lol😂

Brilliant, Shawn!

Quite right too!!

Shoot, I am heading out to the backwoods to hide out. "Ain't gonna let you catch me now, ain't gonna let you catch the midnight rider"🎶 Yes, I might of possibly, maybe, accidently perpetrated one or more of these crimes on a poor, innocent, unsuspecting book.

Also, another book by CS that I am thinking about is THE WAY STATION. I recently heard that that book is mind-numbing and very enjoyable, so that's on the read list too.

I can't believe that ALL FLESH IS GRASS got 5 stars from each of you. THat's freaking spectacular -- never believe that from three different readers and different ages, even the book is so much older. Wow, that's impressive. Yeah, when I read the two books of Simak's, he was quite different from anyone that I ever read, and I loved his work immensely. Now, I am debating about reading CITY (with the Dogs and Robots), because many people have said that it's one of best books they ever read.

[Correction ... 21:56 -- Special Deliverance starts ... Hope that this is the book that I read many, many, many years ago in late 1980's] Hey, in future, please, time stamp this where people know where next one starts ... 21:10 ... Maybe, where Intro, Book #1 stars, rating area, book #2, etc. Then, it's so much easier to jump through this and hear what we want too. I didn't want to listen to you guys expand on AFIG, because I might read it -- if you all agree on 5 stars. That's freaking a shocking conclusion, because I always think about three of my co-workers at work (who agree on next to nothing and are always bickering or yapping about something), trying to read a book and all agree on something. Just almost impossible nowadays, so when you see lot of people give a book 4.5+ stars or 5 stars -- then, it's a classic and worth reading.
