James Lee Burke? Because I've been rolling a question around in my head about Last Car to Elysian Fields and I want to see if anyone else wondered it, too...
namely, if maybe Burke wasn't having way too damn much fun with Max Coll, almost to the expense (but not quite) of his regulars.
And some other things, too. But that was the thought that followed me around for a week or so after I finished reading.
(y'know, on a related but offshoot thought, I really want Ellen Degeneres to start up a book club. She'd be the anti-Oprah. "All genre, all the time!" We thought Rosie might do it, but it was too close, too obviously an anti-Oprah move then, I guess. But Ellen would have fun with it, no?)
(and be warned, I'm currently reading chick-lit [for work-related reasons]. I don't think I'll want to discuss it here, but ya never know with me...)
