2023.Book21 - Devil in a Blue Dress (Mosley)

 Pretty good LA noir.

2023.Book20 - Travels with Charley (Steinbeck)

 OK. Kind of an "old man yells at cloud" vibe. The storm scene was breathtaking though, and the "cheerleader"/"witches' sabbath" episode was shocking.

2023.Book19 - Breath (Nestor)

 Pretty interesting and motivating.

2023.Book18 - Lies of Locke Lamora (Lynch)

 Still excellent. I'm surprised how little of the plot I remembered. Kind of a weird combination of grimdark and swashbuckling.

2023.Book17 - In the Wake (Sharpe)

     Surprisingly light-weight for such a serious topic. Misconstrual as method, pun-based philosophy.
