The video & audio are great, you have worked out the new technology brilliantly, so thanks for a wonderful video. I really enjoy the calm, centred intelligence you bring to book reviewing, & what a delightful mixed bag of sweets you have here, marvellous - a really engaging video.
Yeah. _The Guns of August_ is an upgrade condition-wise. It is a not uninteresting sub-clade of books imo. There is a vista if you will of a set of shelves full of tatty, scuffed and browning books. And by contrast a decent, smartish set of shelves. I'm trying to be precise in my description. I could vary it.
I have a trade paperback copy of Cool Hand Luke that I read in college as a companion to watching the movie for a film class. Need to reread it but I remember enjoying it, hoping you find another copy soon.
Dude thinks he has the wherewithal to get away with murder because he's able to do a crossword puzzle? I was about to laugh at the concept, but on second thought, I suppose that actually could be the sort of delusion a certain variety of narcissistic psychopath might indulge in. I've read some of Massie's stuff, but I haven't gotten to Nicholas and Alexandria yet. Should be excellent if his other books are any kind of indicator. And I know what you mean about cycles. I seem to be moving into something of a fiction phase myself. Hope it doesn't last for years though. Good luck with the new acquisitions, and have a good one.
I think it's supposed to be a particularly difficult crossword puzzle he solves, and it causes him to start thinking of murder as nothing more than a difficult puzzle he has to create which other people can't solve. I'm really interested in seeing what Rendell did in this book, it seems like it would be an easy plot to mishandle towards the ending. I need to read more of Massie's books, too. I have several of them, but I've only read Castles of Steel so far, and that's a spectacular book.

Great deals on your haul John! Stinks about Cool Hand Luke, hope you find another copy soon!

Thank you. I usually don't order books since I already have so many, but I think I'm going to make an exception for Cool Hand Luke
