A few from the local store today, they just reopened after a flood caused by a pipe burst during a super cold freeze a few weeks ago.

Any suggestion I grabbed the Monarch specifically to get @Randall Dowling's attention is a vile accuracy.

I don't know what you're referring to.  It's not like I have an unusual affinity for titles that include nurses.  Everyone has over a hundred novels about that beautiful profession and let's not act otherwise.  :sumo:

I think of Curt Cobain when I see this title. I knew where I was when the news came out about his death. Do folks in this group feel the same or am I throwing grunge into Beatles?

I was lucky enough to see Paul McCartney live in Seattle several years ago.  For the encore, he brought on Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear (who was a touring member of Nirvana.)  So no, I think they fit together just fine.  And it remains the most amazing show I ever saw live, one of those moments where you know you were incredibly lucky to be there that night.

Pretty sure I posted this one waaay back but none of the keywords are coming up ... :headbang:but "Hell Yeah"

My ability to forget I knew something existed is pretty high, to be fair.  You may have and I can still claim I just learned about it today.

I know I've shown this one before, since we're on the subject.

Friday Fun today is this reader copy that I got for the reading as well as the collectability. 

Black Wings Has My Angel by Elliott Chaze.  Gold Medal No. 296   Cover artist unknown.

I got lucky with this as a beater can run you $100 easily.

It's a really tough book in any condition... and tough in the tough noir sense as well, on many "best noir" lists. I picked it up this afternoon and blazed through half of it already and it lives up to its reputation so far.

Although it's a rare book, it's one of those that is far rarer in its second edition, "One For The Money"  with the Charles Copeland cover, which I posted the other day

I don't much of an excuse to post that one again :cloud9:

I'm a huge Beatles fan (fave album: Abbey Road followed by the White Album), but I have some serious PTSD from a bar I inhabited in younger days where the entire bar would break out in a drunken rendition of Yellow Submarine about closing time once a month (:

Cobain is solidly of my generation (X, grew up in a punk/hardcore scene too hip for Nirvana but caught on).  Thought of them this week when I heard this one for the first time ever (visiting lots of late 70s early 80s punk/new wave these days that I missed out on the first time around):

Very interested in this one (and would love the original but hell if I'm gonna pay a hundred bucks for a reader), so a modern printing it is.
