What's on your reading list?

Recently, "Everybody Pays" short stories by Andrew Vachss. A great "hard-boiled" detective writer with moral content.
Lost in a good book by Jasper Fforde and The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. Fun fantasy writings. An if when nothing else is available, I'll reread anything by Kinky Friedman. "Kill two birds and get stoned" being the most recent and best.
Also waiting for a new book by Christopher Moore or Joe R. Lansdale.

Hey Rufusfolks - I love Vachss writing. If you have not yet, check out his early Burke novels.....GREAT stuff if you like that gritty revenge, anti-hero, moral crisis stuff. I like the way he writes. Check out his site too if you have not already. He's a pretty amazing individual! You can even see my dog, Jax, in his "Backup Pack"!

Hey Marco, are you really Wheezer from the Little Rascals?

Jax looks like Pete the Pup!

And the way you photographed her with Chilla they look like they could be waiting for Stymie, Furina, Dickey Moore, Spanky and the rest of the gang for a hike out in the wild Los Angeles woods.

Beautiful lighting and cast shadows!

The Davinci Code--only to properly deride it, just like Brown's other terribly popular books. I just read Angels and Demons, and I can't believe people like this stuff! How is it that Brown makes a beautiful, female Italian scientist, a german policeman, an Italian priest, and WASP Harvard professor sound, think, and react to situations in exactly the same manner? Sheesh! The characters on Scooby Doo are more ably drawn!

Jax is (was 3/6/90 - 6/9/03) the same breed as Petey! Pete the pup was the first dual-registered Amstaff/Pit Bull. Acorging to Ripley's Believe it or Not, the original Petey did have a black circular ring around one of his eyes. The ones that followed in his paw prints had the circle painted in by the talented SFX crew! Those dogs are amazing, wonderful and devoted creatures! It's a great shame that people use them for less than noble purposes. Careless breeding and poor training makes things much worse. Hey, kind of like you and me, eh, Dean!?

I ain't no Wheezer, I'm the Boogie Man!

Thanks, but God created those shadows in my back yard. I just had the dogs sit there and photographed them. They were huntin' pussy at the time, and used those masks get'sum! That image ran as an Avanti Press card for five years. The birthday card has been running for over ten years and is still available. It was with Avanti Press for five and now is sold through my stock agency, Graphistock.
