Deep in the Heart of Texas

Mucho Mojo by Joe R. Lansdale

December 5, 2019 by Jake Leave a Comment

I hate the term “politically correct.” Let’s just get that out of the way. I think the idea of respecting people’s humanity as they want it to be respected is important. When the vast majority of a marginalized group say they don’t want to be addressed with a certain word or in a certain way, making the decision to listen to them is now the downfall of western civilization. Those of us who don’t share a racial, gender, body- or gender-oriented experience as someone else […]

Deep in the Heart of Texas

Savage Season by Joe R. Lansdale

July 31, 2019 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of CBR11 bingo: First in the Hap and Leonard series. Joe R. Lansdale is one of those writers I’ve always been meaning to get to but never had the time for. His bibliography, while prolific, is not as readily available at the used bookstores I enjoy perusing, nor are many of them at my local library (I had to buy this copy from The Mysterious Bookshop). And when I did try one of his popular ones, The Bottoms, I found it to be […]

Episode 1-14: Do The Right Thing

April 9, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/04/09/episode-1-14-do-the-right-thing/ Wherein I review: 46. Jackrabbit Smile (Hap and Leonard #13) by Joe R. Lansdale 47. A Second Chance (St. Mary’s Chronciles #3) by Jodi Taylor 48. The 17th Suspect (Women’s Murder Club #17) by James Patterson I ruminate on the good guys and how racism works when it’s about racism.  The time travel, she getting worse, but I’m holding on for the writing and characters. And how Patterson and Pietro are clearly just done with the Women’s Murder Club and have written their equivalent […]

The Stainless Steel Rat for President (Stainless Steel Rat #8) by Harry Harrison 37. Blood and Lemonade by Joe R. Lansdale 38. Just One Damned Thing After Another (St. Mary’s Chronicles #1) by Jodi Taylor Hap and Leonard do a very special clip show, still following the exploits of the inexplicable rat, I ponder what it’d be like if Johnny Appleseed or Paul Bunyan went serial killer, and I finally find time travel […]
