My point was that a job that nets you a few hundred or maybe
one or two thousand like at a pizza joint wouldn't be a job
you could afford a drop car and then two more. Someone
mentioned the gambling money angle and that would make sense
of it.
Cardboard? Boring? But you think the Faulkner book is
exciting and inspired and not bogged down? Having read a lot
of both, I just shake my
head.........................................................
Yes I have read alot of Faulkner myself and just part of one
Pelecanos so maybe I will try another one of his books as has
been suggested. I do find Faulkner's writing in Sanctuary
superior to Pelecanos. It's not really fair to compare the
two however so I probably shouldn't have. These days I find
that I find myself laying down quite a few books and just
shaking my head so it might be I'm just jaded or maybe there
is just alot of crap being published today. I don't like
Leonard's books either, although Killshot wasn't bad, so that
will make me some friends here. : )
I do like Thompson, Goodis, Woolrich, Cain, Highsmith,
McCoy, Raymond, and Mosley among others.
