Just finished The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy. I didn't like it as much as The Big Nowhere - the characterisation wasn't quite as good and the world he constructed wasn't as engrossing. That's two out of the four LA Quartet books read. I've already read The Big Nowhere, but I'll read that again before moving on to LA Confidential as I want to read the LA Quartet sequentially.

I always feel dirty reading an Ellroy book, like I need a cold shower.

So next on the agenda is Mobfather by George Anastasia.

That will get me warmed up for Blood and Honor, which I really need to finally read.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
