Joe R Lansdale’s new Hap and Leonard novel. He’s got a way with words. Things are going quite well for the two. Work is coming along, nice house. The story begins with Hap marrying Brett. They don’t even get beat up all that much in the story. A chair across the noggin and a couple of cuts is nothing for those two. I’ve read a couple dozen of his books and I’ve yet to be disappointed.
I’ve also been reading Steven Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature because Enlightenment Now wasn’t available. It’s interesting and he makes his case well but it sure is hard to believe that we’re getting less violent. There are a couple of ideas that are interesting about why some areas are more violent than others that I want to think and write about later. I’ll do another post when I finish it in a few days. Had to take a break to read about Hap and Leonard.
