>Sadly, I finally came to the end of Ian Rankin's Rebus books. That was probably the longest sustained run with a single author I have ever had. Usually I jump around, most of the time intentionally picking something very different from the book before. There was a Rebus book on my bedstand from late last year until last week. There was a similar Graham Greene run in the 1980s, but I'm not sure even that went on as long.
Now add Len Deighton - the Triple Trilogy
http://www.amazon.com/Len-Deightons-Bernard-Samson-trilogies/lm/R30Q1RNWKRT59I'm listening to Denise Mina's Slip of the Knife right now and I'm so glad I decided to listen to this one. Like James Lee Burke a lot of the poetry depends on the accent and listening to the Glaswegian and Irish accents is better than reading them.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
