Life was once short, hot and merry, and women left fighting to the guys - usually.

Whodunnit? A little overly academic, but a good treatment of a first class old-time true life murder mystery with a famous cast of attorneys. The "Dream Team" of 1800.

Primordial mama don't 'low this book- read it anyhow. Women really do hate men for not being women; this hatred causes feminism. Edifying analysis of radical ideology that is really TOO reactionary

Falls short in its conclusions, but this is a well-written conservative classic that exposes how evil liberals and liberalism were, even back in 1964.

Overly noirish picture of post-war Los Angeles, but Ellroy is Ellroy. Still an excellent read. Revisit the era in which deviants and commies were the hunted instead of the hunters.

Excellent depiction of famous murder in Old San Francisco. How long ago was 1895? Cross-dressing was illegal in The City.

Turn of the century classic about a Jewish immigrant family, the jewelry business, and "old school" baseball.

Borders, language, culture - it's too late. The war for all three has been lost. The bad guys have won. Book would read better as a eulogy than as a call for action.

For the reactionary from California's Central Valley: If malls & the loony leftist Fresno Bee & its loonier leftist readers depress you, the better stories & poems in this collection will uplift you.
