Saturday Morning Tidbits

My day is off to such a wonderful start that I thought I would share it with you. A friend sent us a basket of goodies from Wolferman's and if you love English muffins, you would faint at the sight of these. They are huge and the texture and taste are sensational. They come in a variety of flavors such as multigrain, 1910 original, cinnamon raisin, sourdough and wild Maine blueberry.  Paradise delivered via your toaster.

What really makes me happy this morning though is Pete Dexter's book review of Jim Harrison's just-published The Great Leader in The New York Times. Harrison wrote Legends of the Fall, Dalva and The Road Home. The Great Leader, featuring a soon-to-be-retired cop's investigation of a cult leader, sounds terrific. It might not be to your taste but if you like irreverent writers such as Elmore Leonard, Lenny Kleinfeld and Joe Lansdale check out Dexter's review. I can't wait to read this book.

Speaking of Dexter, have you read anything he's written? His novels have a noir tinge and include Deadwood, Train, Spooner, The Paperboy and Paris Trout. Try him if you appreciate Cormac McCarthy, Dennis Lehane and George Pellecanos.

If you're enjoying anything you're reading this weekend please let us know.
