When you're a book dealer, you run the very serious risk of picking up way too many books for yourself. Happened today in a big way - I picked up eleven for my personal collection. Let's see...I think the house next door is for sale...
Chapter Three of the novel is almost finished, which feels pretty good. But with 44 days to go, it would feel a lot better if I had several more chapters under my belt.
Listening to Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer in the car. It's a non-Harry Bosch novel, but so far it's not bad. Best line so far:
"A cell phone began to play a classical number by Bach or Beethoven or some other dead guy with no copyright."
