How is Blindness I was looking at it but didnt know if i should pick it up or not! I did see the movie and it was alright.
Blindness is great. After I read it went out and got two more of his books. Once you get over the lack of paragraphs its great and disturbing too!
Get Red Dragon, Hannibal, Blindness, one of those combs there, and a pint of Old Harper.
James Ellroy's L.A. Quartet!
The Black Dahlia
The Big Nowhere
L.A. Confidential
White Jazz
Yea the movie was messed as well, I think that might be one of the books I pick up.
As well as Red Dragon and Hanibal
Now I need one more pick!

The Savage Detectives is a masterpiece! I like the story, especially Quim Font when he is having a nervous breakdown. That part is hilarious! The interviews kind of threw me off at first, but I was amazed how Roberto Bolano (or Arturo Belano as he is known in the book) could give a unique voice to the many different interviewees. It's the first novel I have seen with strange symbols in it which make up part of the story too.
By the way, I wonder if Los Suicidas mezcal is a real alcoholic drink or a hyperbole invented by the author?
