1. The Blonde 2. Expiration Date 3. Severance Package Really, though, I liked all 3. I haven't read The Wheelman yet, but I will. |

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...SH20_OU01_.jpg Great book. Definitely lived up to the hype. Now reading: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...SH20_OU01_.jpg Good book so far (I've read about 25% of it). I wasn't sure what to expect since its Steve Earle's first novel and the story seems a bit out there (its set in San Antonio around the time of JFK's assassination and the characters include a drug-addicted former doctor who performs illegal abortions and the ghost of Hank Williams, Sr.). |

As originally written, the reader is presented with a gas lamp post in the middle of the forest, with the flame lit. It's eerie. Over the course of four or five volumes, you become familiar with it, and the characters are so used to it that they use it as a landmark. Then, in The Magician's Nephew, it's origin is explained, and the reader goes, "Ooooh! That's why it's there!" That happened over and over again in The Magician's Nephew. But not anymore. |
