Damn Joe (inna good way!) for recommending him - I'm hooked now...this is my 4th Vachss book in 10 days...
This is the best compliment I could hope for. Aside from, "That was the best sex I've ever had!"
Just picked up A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick. I've heard good things about this book.
Ok, I ended up starting Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen, instead of Scanner - that'll be next on the list instead. I frickin' love Hiaasen - his murder/mysteries are hysterical and he manages to create these characters that are so completely out there, and yet, still believable. Funny as hell.
As for Vachss' Pain Management - it was the first of his books that I didn't like. Maybe because the main character, Burke, was in hiding and wasn't in his usual NYC element - that coupled with the fact that both the female leads in this book really annoyed the living fuck out of me, and the whole reason for the "pain management" title wasn't what I've come to expect from Vachss and the usual themes he deals with - all of it just ended up boring me.
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
