I've only read Wambaugh's "The New Centurions" and "The Choirboys". I'm sure "The Glitter Dome" is equally excellent.

For Christmas my daughter gave me a book about the backstory and making of that old "Christmas classic" movie "It's A Wonderful Life" that I'm casually strolling through. No particular author seems to be given.  Whitefang |

I'm into the recent Lee Child "Better Off Dead". This one is a physical book rather than a download as received for Christmas
along with Clive & Dirk Cussler's recent "The Devil's Sea". Sad that Clive passed away in 2020. This may be more Dirk on
the actual writing.

In the middle of my annual reading of Gary Paulsen's WINTERDANCE. His recounting of training for and running his first Iditarod.
Will probably re-read Chuck Berry's autobiography next.

Still waiting for Lisa Alther's KINFLICKS.

Recently finished Escaping the Delta, Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues, by Elijah Wald.
Good book, learned a lot from it. Should have read it a long time ago.
Good reading for anyone interested in the blues.
