Crime novel update

I meant to mention in my previous post:


Thanks, all, for your comments in my post about
crime
writing. My to-read shelf is filling up fast!


I found a neat local bookstore,
Prime
Crime, which happened to be a whole block away from the Bridgehead I
tend to show up in after work to read for a bit. They carry nothing but
mystery and crime books, and while their selection tends more towards
mystery than crime (and their clientele tends more towards 60s than
20s!), I was able to pick up a few books from your recommendations:
Carl Hiaasen’s Tourist Season, Hammett’s The Maltese
Falcon, and Lethem’s Gun, With Occasional Music.


That plus the other dozen or so books on the shelf will keep me
occupied until thaw.


That reminds me: Any recommendations for LJ book-related communities
that aren’t really only about English lit? I need to talk and read about
books more, and it’s hard to find a venue.

  2. The one in the Glebe — and Prime Crime is about a block south of the SF
    bookstore down there, or roughly around Fifth or so (guessing).

  3. Ah right. I usually go to the one in Westboro (duh) and I often walk past the one further up Bank, but I didn’t know that one. Anyway I will keep that bookshop in mind if I need to fill the gaps in my ever-expanding Anne Perry collection.
