Marc's A Reader


This arrived earlier.



It's the new James Ellroy novel, Blood's A Rover, the third and final instalment of the trilogy that includes American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand.

It's taken Ellroy a long time to write this, I've been waiting for years for it. The release date in the U.K. is in November.  I couldn't wait so I had it shipped from the U.S. as soon as it was released there.

This is just a quick post to explain why you won't be hearing from me or seeing me over the next few days - unless you are Briony or the cat, in which case I will look like this.





Or perhaps this.

Nice floorboards.

Marc said...

Sarah, thanks, he's called Peregrine.

Jonathan, thanks, they have no name.

Sarah said...

Do you also have a falcon called Emperor?

Marc said...

Sarah, no, but we do have an Emperor called Horatio.

I have decided to rate this at just three stars. Shoes on the sofa. I'll say no more.

Jonathan said...

I'll make it a four. It's only one shoe isn't it?

Marc said...

Yes, a Converse All-Star. Oh, the irony.

For someone who's supposed to have their head buried in a book, you don't seem to have spent too much time reading it so far. Unless you've finished it already?
