AC/DC’s Highway to Hell (33 1/3)
A detailed look at the band and album. Angus! Angus!
The Brass Verdict
Keeps a pretty fast pace. Ending is a bit too neat, but not bad overall.
Blue Blood
Intriguing and mundane.
A Fine Dark Line
ok – sort of like Huck Finn meets Hannibal Lecter.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
A bleak, twisted and interesting novel.
London Boulevard
Breakneck pace – keeps your attention.
A Murder in Wartime: The Untold Spy Story That Changed the Course of the Vietnam War
Really well written. Seems to encapsulate the entire mess.
A Murder in Wartime: The Untold Spy Story That Changed the Course of the Vietnam War

Pretty good 87th story.
Nocturne: A Novel of the 87th Precinct (87th Precinct Mysteries)

Bleeding Hearts
Enjoyed this book – good pace and a decent story.
The Bureau: Inside the Modern FBI
Written pre-Hansen. Some interesting parts, others a bit dull.
Searching for the Sound: My Life with the Grateful Dead
Not sure how much interest this would be for non-deadheads. Last couple chapters have the most punch and are quite melancholy. I saw around 40 shows between 1984 and 1990. Jerry’s wave to the crowd on the first show back in 12/86 with hundreds of people around me crying and the roar during ‘Touch of Grey’ stand in stark contrast to the disintegration of the scene from 90 onward.
Alice in Jeopardy
Ok for non-87th, but a bit convoluted and weak ending.
White Widow
A surprisingly good read. Bus lingo is a little over the top, but not out of place.
The Sign of the Four
Good for a quick read.
A Study in Scarlet: The First Sherlock Holmes Mystery
Have read this a couple times. The back story with the Mormons just doesn’t hold much interest.
Neuromancer
Hard to believe it is almost 30 years old – a bit hard to follow in places, but worth the effort.
Potshot
Spenser and the gang head west.
Strange Days Indeed: The 1970s: The Golden Days of Paranoia
Some interesting bits, but a bit dull overall.
