John Saul: any fans? I read "The Manhattan Hunt Club" and
it blew me away. No spoilers, but it's all about the homeless, soulless, politicians, innocents, and how they tried to solve problems.

I got the book either at a 50 cent deal at the library or a trade-out at a hotel. Either way, it was an intense book.

1. Saul Used To Be One Of My Favorites
but I haven't had time to read much but the news, political books and sites such as DU since Dubya became selected. I really miss reading for pleasure.

3. No! I didn't see your response.
If you ever get a chance, read this book. I'm still thinking about it. :scared:

4. Saul is much maligned
in literary circles, but he consistently puts out good, solid books. And readers generally love him. It's been awhile since I've read one of his books. I'll have to check this one out.
