Fall begins in just two days, so it is appropriate that I am finishing up my Summer reading. The last three books I read were coincidentally all very dark and exceptionally violent, but enjoyable. Especially if you are dark and violent. If you are dark violet, please see a doctor. You are choking.
Here’s a one sentence review of each. All are recommended.
–No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy

–Don’t Point that Thing at Me by Kyril Bonfiglioli

–Battle Royale by Koushun Takami
