A Few Good Books

Thought I'd take the opportunity to list a few of my favorite books/authors:
The Autobiography of Malcom X--I first read this at about age 14. It has had a profound and lasting influence. Confirmed my belief that books can change a life as Malcolm X discovered.
Love in the Time of Cholera--masterpiece from Gabriel Garcia Marquez explores the nature of love in a marriage spanning 50 years. Exquisite.
Books by author Ken Bruen. Called the "Celtic Dashiell Hammett", mystery writer Bruen's books are very dark and brooding with a dose of black humor. If you like a very intelligent mystery laced with many literary references, try this 'Irish Noir". Not for the faint hearted.
