ction Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I just finished reading Calibre, and am now starting American Skin. This guy is now my new favorite author. Anyone have any recommendations on what I should read next? This guy is like an Irish version of George Pelecanos, so I'm hoping maybe Calexico or someone else who enjoys that style (maybe even that one smarmy, condescending moderator lady) may be able to chime in.

Sir Stewart Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Can you summarize what you like about him (for someone who's never heard of the other guy you mentioned)? Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Can you summarize what you like about him (for someone who's never heard of the other guy you mentioned)? Bruen and Pelecanos are like a modern day Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett - really well-written, interesting noir/crime stories. George Pelecanos writes about stuff in and around DC...from what I gather, Bruen's stuff is mostly set in Ireland. I really enjoying getting into the hard drinking, tough-guy mindset while sitting on the couch, wrapped up in my favorite blanky and drinking hot chocolate. Link to post Share on other sites
