cover blurb of the week
Latter-day Ross Macdonald books in the Lew Archer series sport this classy (and accurate, aside from the limitation 'American') quote from the NYT:
The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American.
Today a batch of older printings showed up, including a copy of The Wycherly Woman from the late 60's wearing this beauty like a crown:
Lew Archer- The Hardest of the Hard Boiled Dicks
Say now!

Amsterdam Bicycle Culture
Clicky Clicky.
The whole country is flat as a pancake, very conducive to cycling.
We got lost a few times navigating between towns before figuring out the green lines on the map were bike paths, not roads.
And in Amsterdam proper you have to watch it.
Except for the cheery, ubiquitous ding ding ding of bike bells, they make no sound as they swarm along the cobblestones, and the locals aren't especially patient with gawking Americans wandering into traffic.
The train stations all have these tiny little lots for cars in one corner but acres of bike parking.
And speaking of Europe, I did a gigantic double-take yesterday when I saw a lime green Smart Car tooling through downtown.
NICE!

Tales of the Bookstore
Baxblog's dedication to bringing readers the very latest in navel-gazing self absorption is legendary, even in hell.
In today's experiment we investigate the efficacy of visual methods in the quest for ever deeper strata of belly lint.
I present Tales of the Bookstore.
