Col - You have some great reads there! Cruz Smith, le Carré, McDermid, Sjöwall Wahlöö... All of them are talented. Oh, and R.D. WIngfield too! I hope you'll enjoy them. You have such an extensive library!
ReplyDeleteThanks Margot, more books than time that's for sure!
DeleteCol, I wouldn't mind reading a few Ian Fleming paperbacks. It's been a long time since I did. Are the C.T. magazines British or American?
ReplyDeleteI have yet to enjoy one, Prashant - maybe this year or next! Crime Time is a British Magazine. I think it might still be running but strictly on-line and not in print format.
DeleteRich Dad Poor Dad! The children and I gave it to our local Poor Dad, who has a permanent low-level whine that his family is out to bankrupt him and that he will be in the workhouse soon if we don't all stop spending money like water. Just the name of the book makes us all laugh inordinately. I don't know that anyone ever read it though.
ReplyDeleteSome nice ones there, familiar titles and different ones by familiar authors. I'm always thinking I should read another Ira Levein - his A Kiss Before Dying is a memorably brilliant book.
I shall have to read it and report back obviously. I don't know where I got it from. Levin needs to be re-visited soon-ish.
DeleteIra Levin - brilliant writer, and I've not read either of those two (I have seen the awful Sliver movie tho', which I assume is based on the book?). I re-read The Spy Who Came in From The Cold last year - he drags you in and doesn't let go til the bitter end. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI really don't recall SLIVER being that bad, but who knows, my film memory is as bad as my book memory. I ought to get into LE CARRE, but I could say that about 50 - 100 other authors whose books I have loads of.
DeleteI have read lots of Bond books (by Fleming) but so long ago I remember very little. Also read Casino Royale after it came out as a movie, and was surprised to see how much the book was like the film. I plan to read all of them again... someday.
ReplyDeleteI also have several Crime Time magazines from around 2000 and 2001ish. I love reading them.
That cover for THE BURGLAR IN THE LIBRARY looks really strange. Going to reread those too.
You are ahead of me on Bond-Fleming - none read so far! I ought to read a Crime Time cover to cover soon, though it will undoubtedly give me a fresh list of books and authors that I missed first time around.
DeleteYou are spot on re the strangeness of the Block-Burglar cover. I really like it. It seems harsh in contrast to the other editions I have from the series which seem much gentler.
