More for Your To-Be-Read Pile

There’s a particularly rich crop of other “forgotten book” choices sprouting up around the blogosphere today. Among the works chosen: A Morning for Flamingos, by James Lee Burke; Los Alamos, by Joseph Kanon; Balling the Jack, by Frank Baldwin; Stone Angel, by Marvin H. Albert; and Down in the Dumps, by H. Mel Malton.

In addition, this week’s series coordinator, Brian Lindenmuth, hosts a number of other picks by crime writers in his own blog, Observations from the Balcony. It’s there that you will find Ian Rankin writing about I Was Dora Suarez, by Derek Raymond; Robert Ward championing They Don’t Dance Much, by James Ross; and Patti Abbott recommending Beyond the Bedroom Wall, by Larry Woiwode. Oh, and Lindenmuth himself offers a fine and lengthy write-up about Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, by David Simon.

A developing list of today’s participating blogs can be found at the bottom of Lindenmuth’s post.
