So far (I'm only on Chapter 3), Eleven On Top is just as funny as I expected. Funny story:

I bought a copy for my friend L, and she walked from work to her sister's place to pick up her car last evening, about three blocks. She's walking, and suddenly this car going by slows, and then backs up. "Somebody must need directions," she thinks. This woman rolls down her window and says "OMG, is that the book?! It's out?! Where did you get it?" L was a little taken aback, shocked that the woman could recognize the book by glimpsing about half its cover as she was driving past. "Um, yeah," she answered cautiously, "A friend picked it up for me; I'm pretty sure she got it at the book store." The woman, still overcome with excitement, said "OMG, I have to go and buy it right now." She also asked if it was good, if L had started reading it yet, etc, none of which L could answer, because she hadn't. Then the woman drove off in the direction of the book store.

Too funny.

Also, I absolutely needed a Plum icon. With Ranger and Morelli. It shouldn't be hard to guess which is which. ;)

I didn't get to start reading until right before bed, which was pretty darn late already, and then I stayed up until 4AM. Got to chapter 7 and forced myself to put it down. *squee!*

The lady at Waldenbooks said the book was flying off the shelf. LOL. Crazy. We're all crazy.

We had company last night, so I couldn't read. :( They didn't leave until one in the morning, which is probably good, because it forced me to make the decision of sleep over reading.

I'm not down with Plum. I just can't do it. LOL. I'm reading this series that vilandra25 turned me onto. The lead character is a viglante for a price. Kinda cool.

If you're so inclined...

Oooooh, sounds interesting. I always loved that show, The Equalizer, and I always need new books to read. I'm going to check it out next time I go to the bookstore.

I'd call the series a detective noirish supernatural Vigilante thing. It's really heard to explain. The Tomb is the first one but it came out in 84 so it's a little dated but still great reading. The next one came out in 98, I believe and I just bought the third one last night. Good stuff.
