 | Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $2.88 First book of the year. I finished this one in January. Good read, not complicated at all. A quick story of a serial killer driven by his heightened sense of smell. He has no smell of his own and is excluded from our society because of this.
The book seemed like an experiment in writing a genre. It was a very good experiment.

 | Straight Man: A Novel by Richard Russo
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $2.51 Oh, dear god, another exercise in middle age masturbation. When will baby boomers stop whining about how *hard* it is to be middle-aged?
This took forever for me to read. Mostly because I fell asleep reading it. Russo is a fantastic writer. I have no idea what happened with this book.

 | Outer Dark by Cormac Mccarthy
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $7.93 This is the book I'm reading now. Should take a while, it's McCarthy. So far it's great, but like his other books, I have to heave the pages back and reread to get the full meaning of what's being said and what's going on.
