A rainy, slightly chilly Monday here, and not much to distinguish it beyond that. I started reading the last book in Charlie Huston’s “Joe Pitt Casebooks,” which is about as close to excitement as the day got. I was sure I’d purchased a copy of the book a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn’t find it anywhere last night. So I logged on to Barnes & Noble’s website and put a copy on hold. There’s a store a few blocks from my office, so I figured I could go pick it up on my lunch break. Which I did, only to discover, on my return to my cubicle, that the reason I couldn’t find the book at home yesterday…was that I’d left it in my desk. So now I have an extra copy that I need to return.
See, I told you the day wasn’t very exciting.
I was unfamiliar with Charlie Huston, but his stuff looks very interesting. Thanks!
I haven’t read any of the mysteries or the more recent science fiction, but I’ve enjoyed the Joe Pitt books. They can be pretty brutal and bloody stuff sometimes, but they’re quick and entertaining reads.
Perhaps it was not a case of misplacing a copy but some kind of freak time travel thing.
Wait…then if I return the one copy, does that mean the other copy will then cease to have ever existed? Because I’m kind of in the middle of reading it.
