Author Matthew Perry
Copyright 2022, I started reading this March 4th or 5th 2023.
When I was younger I read a lot of biographies and memoirs, not so much now. I love Matthew Perry, I loved Friends for years and years.
I bought it at Target in hardcover, 30% off. I would have paid full price and I don’t buy many hardcover books these days. I just don’t have room for them, but again I love Chandler Bing therefore I love Matthew Perry, therefore I am reading his memoir.
I expected this to be an easy read, but it isn’t, for me at least. It’s painful to read, so it may take me a minute to finish it.
Author, Samin Nosrat
Copyright 2017, I bought this book Feb 26th 2023.
I am appalled that this book as been in print for 5 years and I am just reading it now. I cook. A lot, and I’m a good cook. And yet this book has already rocked my world! At least in the kitchen. Who knew? I heard about this book listening to Tim Ferris interview the author Samin Nosrat for his book Tribe of Mentors. I’ll have more to say about this book.

I first read this Dec 2022.
Michael Connelly
Published in 1993, this is the 2nd of Michael Connelly’s mystery novels. The first The Black Echo, was published in 1992 and won the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best First Novel. As of this writing he has published an additional 35 novels. Most if not all were best sellers – I wasn’t able to figure that out exactly.
The Black Ice has been reviewed on Amazon almost 11,000 times. I’m not a good enough writer to imagine that I can add anything original to that discussion other than my opinion, such as it may be.
It’s the second in the Harry (Hieronmyous) Bosch series, I love the character and the setting. As a resident of Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley for the last 30+ years his local references are fun, the sense of familiarity they add are – hmm I don’t have a good adjective – but I enjoy it. It’s a quick read, nothing to ponder here.
I watch the television series as well. Unlike most book/tv series combos I’m able to enjoy the show after the book. Typically if I want to enjoy both I have to watch the show first – generally speaking I find television can’t hold up to the book – like the Outlander series. I was obsessed with the books but don’t find the show at all entertaining.
For a quick and engaging read pretty much any Michael Connelly book will do the trick, The Black Ice is no exception. I finished reading this Jan 9, 2023. That note is for my own reference – mostly because I don’t know where else to put it and I want to publish these posts as I finish the books.
