Fender Lizards - Joe Lansdale

An excellent coming of age tale about a 17 year old high school dropout named Dorthy. Dorthy lives in a trailer park with her mother, grandmother and little brother. Her dad disappeared years earlier. Dorthy doesn't see much hope of her situation changing when a mysterious uncle shows up and starts to make life more interesting. It's kind of a low key story for Lansdale and it wasn't what I was expecting.

BTW - The term fender lizards refers to Dorthy's job. She works at a drive-up fast food place and the waitresses wear roller skates. They call themselves fender lizards.

I tried to reserve this at the library today. It's not even in their system. Will have to find it elsewhere!

You are such a doll! But, no I don't have one. Never used any kind of e-reader ever.

Started The Bone Bed by Patricia Cornwell last night. I've been slacking on my 'Scarpetta' novels for the last couple of years. I think I'm about 4 behind but plan on changing that quickly.

Hand up here for Kindle. I never thought I would like it. Ever. Need a book in my hand!
But tell ya, it has been great, and I have been needing it. And I love my lil case for it.

It will never replace a book, ever. But yes, reading and not on a cell phone or such nonsense.
