I wouldn't actually read JDM till many years later but I knew I'd get around to him sooner or later, as King rarely steered me wrong when it came to good writers (I read Harlan Ellison, Jim Thompson, and Cornell Woolrich bc of King's DANSE MACABRE). And of course no I wish I'd gotten around to JDM sooner!

I had a hard time getting through the first 30 pages, because I knew there were so few left ahead of me. And now, 18months or so later, i have read all 21 Travis McGee novels. What an amazing journey.<br /><br />I'll scroll through your blog to find some suggestions on what to read next.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535943936537261662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290476670691353414.post-46340192173251176302011-10-29T13:09:59.490-07:002011-10-29T13:09:59.490-07:00Fantastic and insightful, thanksFantastic and insightful, thanksAli Karimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640079406581573368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290476670691353414.post-57467342638186680582011-10-29T12:43:04.743-07:002011-10-29T12:43:04.743-07:00I enjoyed that essay very much, thank you.I enjoyed that essay very much, thank you.RichardSnoreply@blogger.com
