> Thank you Wiploc! I have actually done some of that work myself, and it has given me a deep appreciation for good reading!
A good reader is one whom I rarely want to correct. A great reader makes me realize I would have missed out if I'd been reading the book myself.
Tull is a great reader, as are, curiously, those various people who read Donald E Westlake's books. Start--if you're interested--with The Hot Rock and then Bank Shot, and after that I don't think order matters.
The Hot Rock was supposed to be a Parker book, a hard boiled crime story, but it kept turning funny, so Westlake had to invent a new cast to accommodate the humor.
Don't watch any movies made from Westlake's movies. The Hot Rock, despite Redford and Segal, was indifferent. The rest are far worse. Not Westlake's fault.
