Current Reading: The Missing Ink


Current Reading: The Missing Ink
Originally uploaded by dhamel.
Alright, I admit it! I'm lying! This was my current reading up until a couple hours ago, but I finished it and wrote a draft of a review. It will be available for public consumption...well, some day. There are five other books I've written reviews for that I haven't posted yet.

Meanwhile, just started a book called Don't Call Me a Crook, which was originally published in 1935. It's the (reportedly) rollicking autobiography of a hell-raising Glaswegian named (pseudonymed, actually, as he didn't use his real last name) Bob Moore. I've only read the introduction by the book's publisher so far, though, so I can't be sure yet whether I'll be sticking with it or not.
