Just watch League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and you'll get all that classic stuff at once.Gave The Picture of Dorian Gray a try, for the life of me, Oscar Wilde is about as dry as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle......
(Personally I liked the movie)

That 415 pages is done…let’s see how the next one goes. It at least still has Clive Cussler’s name on it. The next one doesn’t.Son is at work. Wife is running errands. Just me and the dog at home. I have a John D MacDonald book I’m partway through, but it’s a slow read. Gonna take a mental break and work on this one for a bit…and have the next two of the NUMA series already here:

Mckinty also has a "Dead" series that is pretty good. Nothing like the Duffy series.Just finished all of the Sean Duffy novels from Adrian McKinty after a recommendation here. Thank you @rufrdr! A very good series of detective novels and I enjoyed them very much. I’m also stoked to see that the newest one is about to be released next month. Can’t wait!!!
Also, did anyone know there was a Heat 2 novel out? It’s co-written by Michael Mann himself, and is a sequel and a prequel at the same time. Vincent Hanna wraps up the aftermath of the big shootout and it also shows you how McCauley brought his team together. Got this on reserve hold at the library.

The book is very good, lots more details than the movie.Got this from my wife for my birthday (May) or Father’s Day…can’t remember. Finally started it today. Never read it when it came out.

Sean Duffy returns! Just got a copy of Adrian McKinty’s latest, “The Detective Up Late”.
I hope this isn’t the last of Sean Duffy.
That has to go on my list! I left home at 17 and moved to Nederland, CO. Somehow, IYou know how you read an 1152 page book? One page at a time…starting today.
My dad and I read some version of this book on a family road trip back in ~’91. We were driving from Charlotte to Lacrosse, WI to Omaha, back through St Louis to Charlotte. Minivan and pop-up camper. That’s one of the trips that helped me visit 46 of the 50 states before I graduated high school. We stopped somewhere and picked out the thickest book we could find…and this was it. One would read (to themselves) while the other drove. Two bookmarks in the same book.
So he gave me this one this past Christmas, with a note.

I've only read his Blackford Oakes novels, and that was quite a while ago. I'll add it (them?) to the list.I’ve read all of Buckley’s sailing books (plus some others); this may be the best. Read it for the pure pleasure of reading the written word. Buckley could write about tire recapping and it would still be great reading. Get you some
