I have not updated my blog in a few days.
There have been complaints.
Please be assured that I have not forgotten you, oh faithful readers.
Look for an upcoming entry regarding the controversial KKK robe up for auction here in Howell.

What I'm Reading
- Edward Ugel: Money For Nothing
Subtitled, One Man's Journey Through The Dark Side Of Lottery Millions. (****) - Susan Braudy: This Crazy Thing Called Love
The true story behind the Billy Woodward shooting, the case on which Dominick Dunne based his novel, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. (*****) - Matt Birbeck: A Beautiful Child
True story about the mysterious life and death of a young woman who's real identity still remains unclear. Excellent read. (****) - Richard Yates: Revolutionary Road
A novel about the alienation arising from living in the "perfect" suburbs. Hailed as a great literary book. I thought it was okay, at best. (**) - Annie Proulx: Close Range, Wyoming Stories
A collection of lyrical short stories from Annie Proulx that contains Brokeback Mountain among other gems. (****) - John Grisham: The Innocent Man
I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you." A must read. (*****) - Nancy Caldwell Sorel: The Women Who Wrote The War
Fascinating look at women journalists at the front during WWII. (****) - Jack Olsen: Charmer
Riveting true crime by a master. (****) - Ann Rule: Too Late To Say Good Bye
Excellent telling of the Bart Corbin cases. (****) - Michael Crichton: Airframe
Ehhh. Better than the back of a cereal box, I guess. (**)
Ooooh....I've kinda been waiting for you to weigh in on that subject, being an Howell native and all.

Lisa, I love your blog. If I ever start (and keep up with) a blog, you will be my inspiration. Why? Because you were inspired by someone else, and then went and did your own Lisa thing, which inspires me to do my own thing someday. Make sense? I think you're brave to take your inspiration from Loretta since she is so prolific. But I love your voice. You are so... pithy. Keep it up, and thanks.

I love your blog...I am not sure how I got here, thru Nanea I think. I am a true crime buff, I swear like a sailor, and I love your writing. Check mine out. nicolemarie.typepad.com. I once ordered a banana split when I was 2 from the man at Swensen's by calling him a son of a bitch! Fuck yeah!

I was thinking about talking about that too... I'll let you take it!
I'm glad you are covering it.

There is a KKK robe up for auction in Howell?!? I suppose that really shouldn't surpise me. Are they holding the auction in the Jones Road Cemetery or maybe on Robert Miles' old complex? Disgusting. I was just reading last night about the arrest in the "Mississippi Burning" murders, and that got me to thinking about the research I did on the Klan in high school for the story I did for the Main Four. (aka the Main Bore) It was so creepy. They sent me all this propaganda including stickers and cards that said "Get on the Klan Van! Join the Klan Youth Corps!" Sick. Anyway, can't wait to hear the details about this robe for auction.

I'm so fucking jealous- I wish I'd come up with that header for a post.
Keep the faith, kiddo!
