Hey Guys–
Since girls and girl reading selections now dominate the fiction room, we guy Lemurians have to decided to launch our certified guy reading club monthly selection. Suggestions will be picked only by the male Lemurians (now Mark, Joe and John). Each month one of us will pick a favorite to feature, with the hope of providing a good fun reading experience.
Our monthly guy book fix will be called Martini Soup. We hope as you read our list, your stew pot will be full of some good meaty reading. Also, we suggest these fine books to be read with a stiff martini (straight up or on the rocks) by your side, and of course, Cathead vodka to be the beverage of choice.
Without question, Jim Harrison is our first author of choice. Our baptism fiction is his 1978 novella Revenge included in his immortal Legends of the Fall. What more can I say to kick this club off, but–
“Revenge is a dish better served cold.”
-Old Sicilian adage
To read or reread is our proposition. While following our club, find new jewels or revisit old favorites. John picked first, Joe and Mark will follow and then the list will grow as it will. We welcome your suggestions and comments. Let’s have some fun.
P.S. We welcome you gals to read along if you like stiff drinks while you read.
-John
This link will lead you to all of our editions of Legends at Lemuria. The one pictured above is a first edition signed (1979). To get his memorable voice in mind, enjoy the audio file of Jim Harrison reading from The Beast God Forgot to Invent and a poem, “In the Old Days,” at Lemuria in 2000.
