Should I try to read the books with Skink in order?



I'd say yeah, it would probably make more sense that way. It's not totally necessary, but there are a few callbacks based on his relationship with the cop who's name I can't remember.

I think lucky you or the one he put out right after lucky you were the last ones I read by him.

I'd probably just read his books in order period, as his earliest books are the best to me.

I’m about to start How to Hide an Empire.

A little light reading while I’m home bound.

It’s a good book. I’m in Fort Bend, Texas and the library here has it on audiobook through it’s free app. FYI if you happen to live here too.

Reading this for a class


Kind of interesting so far. Basically talks about how the idea of death was different during the Civil War. The body was just a vessel, the desire to have a “good death”, etc.

Elmore Leonard


I just finished Hombre by him. I usually read sci-fi so a western was a total change. I thought his writing was unique, and quite enjoyed his storytelling.

Freaky Deaky by Elmore Leonard. Haven't read it in a long time and picked it up few days ago. Fun book and a fast read.


I just bought a bunch of Leonard’s books. Having never read him before, what do you suggest I read first?

Get shorty and moonshine war are probably the two I liked most by him that I've read, and out of sight and rum punch are very good as well.
