Read a Good Book Lately?

Great share, thanks!

Yeah his Instagram is really worth following!

I have a director friend that read this and loved it. Completely changed her way of thinking in a good way.

It's a great book - I should dip into it again soon!

I've been looking for a good series to read. This sounds intriguing. I will check it out, thank you for sharing!

I have read this and its an awesome book. You will definitely enjoy it!

This looks awesome. I'll need to add it to my reading list asap!

That was on pages 11-12 while Elmore provides introductory character description prior to Ray Bones walking into the barbershop after Momo dies.

I'm an expert on Chili Palmer. Just ask me sometime. ;) But for now, that's got to be it. ;)

Elmore lives eternal! One of the absolute best!!

Thought you'd get a kick out of this ... The Jacket John Travolta wore as Chili Palmer in Get Shorty. It's now in my collection ...

.... along with the shoes John Travolta wore as Chili Palmer in the Barber Shop scene immediately after the credits. GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH!

Yes.

But it sucks!

BTW, that's a Circle of Friends candle-holder... kinda reminds me of S32. :-)

Hey that's my favorite book. I have no idea how many times I've read it.

Thanks, Mate. We're celebrating today. It's queen Vicky's birthday. Nobody told our government Victoria died 118 years ago. Canucks are the laziest in the Commonwealth & just LIVE for holidays. Cheers.

Book looks interesting. I'll have to check it out.

What an interesting concept. This has long been a pet-peeve of mine, especially in books dealing with the NYPD. The reality is that just about every police agency has their own terminology and it really shows how much (or how little) effort a writer puts in to the story when they get it wrong.

Hi Jan and Andrew. Hope you managed to get hold of book. Its printed by small publishing house and I found it my pitch fest London 2017. If you have difficulty getting hold of it let me know and I can photocopy for pdf. Andrew this subject is one of my pet peeves too. People use the term lightly "The Police" like its their own household friend or some personal force at their beck and call whenever they get pissed off about someone who has offended them. Like you say they have their own terminology, thoughts, feelings and agenda. Screenwriters need to hit the nail on the head when depicting the true and formidable characters in this office of the law , instead of "The Police."

If you're righting in this vein, here's another great book that I came across years ago. The author has been in law enforcement for decades. He isn't a fiction writer, but has done a lot of consulting. It's a book about how movies and TV almost always get criminals wrong.
