Some of the Sharp edge came back to the air overnight, and the sun never made it out today, while the heater runs continuously in its stead. Now a gentle autumn rain falls.
Very peaceful and relaxing. A good day for a fun novel. About a third of the way into "The Girl with the Long Green Heart," I feel more confident of the idea that Lawrence Block is masterful with a plot, but his writing is a little more utilitarian, as was the case with "The Grifter's Game." As far as this one goes, I am still on the fence whether it will make a hit-and-run rereadable, whether, in the end, it will have that extra romanticky edge or not, but it is a pleasant and satisfying read.
