I may be late to the party, but I just read Harlan Coben’s interview in the Guardian and it’s terrific. You’ll have to Google it yourselves.

My pleasure. Those things are usually pap, and this one wasn’t. I read it aloud to Lynne.

Thanks to years of reading recommendations of his friend Donald E. Westlake in essays by Lawrence Block, I finally picked up my first Westlake novel, "The Hot Rock," and it was wonderful. It reads like vintage Block. I've got a lot of great reading to look forward to.

David W. Barber Lawrence Block Michael A. Burstein The Parker series is marvelous. I’m especially fond of the paperback editions published by U of Chicago Press: press.uchicago.edu/sites/stark/in…

Happy Birthday Matthew Scudder. And a stack o' gratitude to Lawrence Block !!

Don’t know that I’ll get much reading done over the weekend, what with being at #BloodyScotland, but starting a new book tonight: Lawrence Block’s Hard Case Crime release #Borderline… looking forward to delving into it! #NowReading #AmReading #BookTwitter

Great bookstore!

Pass them on to Mme. de Farge.
