Fast Work --> Fast words

I finished up No Country for Old Men (Cormac McCarthy). It was a quick read. Some interesting commentary on the changing world. Very violent, but at the same time there was a lot of reflection. I would recommend it for a read.

I am now reading Middlesex (Eugenides). I think it is the current Oprah book, but it is also a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Besides I really like Oprah and think she would have good taste in books.

On To Something New...

Finished Dead Watch today. It was not the best Sandford novel. I would recommend one of the Prey or Kidd novels before this one. Perhaps this new character will grow on me, but I am not sure it is as compelling.

Started No Country for Old Men, by Cormac McCarthy (he wrote The Road). My Mom lent it to me. So far so good. I am getting used to the lack of punctuation.
