"John Rechy, recipient of the Publishing Triangle’s William Whitehead Lifetime Achievement Award, wrote City of Night in 1963. This radical and daring work, which launched Rechy’s reputation as one of America’s most courageous novelists, remains the classic document of the garish neon-lit world of hustlers, drag queens, and men on the make who inhabited the homosexual underground of the early sixties."

Not sure what is up next. Got a ton of used books at a book sale, and have no idea where to start. Bought 30 books for $45, and they include 4 Elmore Leonards, 4 Dennis Lehanes, the three Bourne books by Ludlum, a couple of Stephen Hunters and Michael Crichtons, and some other individual books, like American Gods and Big Trouble. What to do, what to do...

I'm reading a book called Possessed by Thomas Allen. It is supposed to be the true story of an exorcism.

I'm also perusing that book recommended in last months thread called Ghosts (something...) that is about CIA involvement in Afghanistan when funding the insurgents against Russia.

You think since Dan Jenkins went to TCU like I did, I'd have read his books by now. I'm loving it so far and will read all of his books soon.

Just finished Big Trouble. Really enjoyable book. Read it based on the number of positive reviews that I read here.
