Skin Tight (1989) by Carl HiaasenMuch the same mode of comedy-satire-thriller as the later Skinny Dip; Hiaasen may be a writer not well served by reading too many too close together. I did get to see...

Skinny Dip (2004) by Carl Hiaasen.All right, I'm late to the party on this author. Been seeing his books around for years, but the descriptions never quite enticed. I'm very glad I, er, dipped in. ...

I will be doing what has become my annual reading for the Speculations Reading Series at DreamHaven Books & Comics on Friday, Dec. 11th at 6:30 PM. From CryoBurn again, probably, though I will likely take a vote, and if everyone there has heard Chapter ...One already, have something else up my sleeve.
