I’ve read four of the Joe Pickett novels. Usually breaks down to three sections: Joe and his search for the killer, Joe and his family and Joe and the bureaucrats. I wouldn’t call the writing gripping, but it isn’t offensive. Easy to skim the parts you are not interested in. Good for a night when you just rather stay home.
A series of presentations from the Gettysburg conference for Lincoln’s 175th birthday. Many topics and contributors. A bit too academic in places.
The Historian’s Lincoln: Pseudohistory, Psychohistory, and History
A disappointing sophomore effort. Overall premise is weak with Reacher getting caught up in a kidnap of an FBI agent. Half the book deals with the FBI investigation effort to find the missing agent. Boring! On the plus side, it allowed for easy skimming.
I really was hoping that Lee Child would be different from the other “best seller” formulas of wowing the reader with an inundation of technical detail on weapons systems and “secret” practices. No luck. Last book I read by this author.
Money isn’t a sure bet, but it’s the closest to God that I’ve ever seen in the world.
Be always drunken. Nothing else matters. That is the only question. If you would not feel the horrible burden of time weighing on your shoulders and crushing you to the earth, be drunken continually.
You can’t quantify reward. You can quantify risk.
We have to be continually jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.
Be regular and orderly in your life so you may be violent and original in your work.
The first of the Jack Reacher series. Grabs you from the start. I don’t usually like the ex-military superman genre but this was ok. As you near the end, some twists seem forced but the writing is interesting enough to keep you involved.
