I'm at the library, which two books should I check out?
I'm thinking one might be Light in August.

depends on what you want to read. I'd say Girl with the Dragon tattoo.

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

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

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.
