Pass them on to Mme. de Farge.

Great bookstore!

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

I don't know why the MAGA crowd is in an uproar over Taylor Swift endorsing @KamalaHarris . Who is she compared to the awesome, global star power of Hulk Hogan, Scott Baio, Kevin Sorbo & Kid Rock?

At last, somewhere I can take Monty for a walk without him being chased by a priest holding a crucifix…

Happy Birthday Matthew Scudder. And a stack o' gratitude to @LawrenceBlock !!

Four thousand six hundred ninety!

Rabbits! Rabbits!

@joelansdale He may have already caught it from the couch.

@LawrenceBlock A cat is giving him the Pelosi clap.

Single, perhaps. Single childless cat lover, perhaps not!

@NewWaveIngenue For that to be true, one would pretty much have to be sociopathic.

@LawrenceBlock Vance isn’t wrong to point out that people without kids have a different perspective. You have kids, the world after you’re gone matters. You don’t—who cares? Not you, really. You die, it’s nice if things go on but if not, eh. You had your time.

@LeeGoldberg Ah, so that’s it. I just figured the garage owner had a bad dish of kimchi.

Saw this in a Nashville parking structure. WTF??

Not half chuffed to be called “venerable” by the man himself!

@mabfan @LawrenceBlock You’ve got some great reading ahead… and for a tour of Weatlake’s nonfiction, check out: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…

@bachbeethoven @LawrenceBlock @mabfan 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…

Thanks to years of reading recommendations of his friend Donald E. Westlake in essays by @LawrenceBlock, 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.

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

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