I'm at the library, which two books should I check out?


I'm thinking one might be Light in August.

You ever read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galexy? I just watched the movie on Space, looks promising.

It's like you don't even know who I am.



The library was closing so I didn't have time to look into the rest of the suggestions.

I've just discovered Phillip Kerr. he's been compared to Chandler - though I wouldn't know about that. His series on a PI Bernhard Gunter is set before, during and after WW2. I got a trilogy of his recently - Berlin Noir and I couldn't put it down. He's got more out, and a new one just released - which is how I came to find him. Very good, and interesting because, although we know about WW2 from the military side in Germany - the civilian side is much less clear. It's a very atmospheric backdrop to crime novels. Informative too.
