Elvis is Dead and I Don't Feel So Good Myself 

I liked Lewis Grizzard when I was a kid,  I didn't like this book nearly as much as I did the ones I read then.  Maybe it was this book, maybe it's just the passage of the years...

Book Seventeen

The Cases that Haunt Us

A bit slow-going and sloggy at times, still interesting enough to keep reading.

Because sometimes what I finish *isn't* a book. :)

Books Fifteen and Sixteen

The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott was an interesting novel.  I'm not really happy with the ending - she goes back to see her old lover all mangled and broken (her, not him), and I prefer people remember their first love as perfection, but I guess it's not meant to be in some books. ;)





The Autobiography of An Execution left me unsettled as well.  Since I'm pretty sure no one is going to complain about spoilers here - he Dies!  You want so bad for *this one* to make it, and he doesn't, and you're left feeling, like the lawyer, I guess, broken because he was unable to be saved.  Or maybe he was saved, in the end, by the release.  Who can know?
