Don’t know that I’ll get much reading done over the weekend, what with being at #BloodyScotland, but starting a new book tonight: @LawrenceBlock’s @HardCaseCrime release #Borderline… looking forward to delving into it! #NowReading #AmReading #BookTwitter

I don't know why the MAGA crowd is in an uproar over Taylor Swift endorsing @KamalaHarris . Who is she compared to the awesome, global star power of Hulk Hogan, Scott Baio, Kevin Sorbo & Kid Rock?

At last, somewhere I can take Monty for a walk without him being chased by a priest holding a crucifix…

Happy Birthday Matthew Scudder. And a stack o' gratitude to @LawrenceBlock !!

@joelansdale He may have already caught it from the couch.

Single, perhaps. Single childless cat lover, perhaps not!

@HipMrBully @RichardChizmar @MoustacheClubUS @SlugfestBoston @ThePeoplesTom @MightStephen @LosersClubPod @LawrenceBlock I guess the stories are the stories

@NewWaveIngenue For that to be true, one would pretty much have to be sociopathic.

@LeeGoldberg Ah, so that’s it. I just figured the garage owner had a bad dish of kimchi.

[Lawrence Block @LawrenceBlock]

Not half chuffed to be called “venerable” by the man himself!

[Cornell Woolrich *ʰᵒᵐᵃᵍᵉ* @CornellWoolrich]

This is the 1987 Chinese edition of the recently-republished (by @HardCaseCrime) novel INTO THE NIGHT, begun by me and completed by the venerable @LawrenceBlock.

@bachbeethoven @LawrenceBlock @mabfan The Parker series is marvelous. I’m especially fond of the paperback editions published by U of Chicago Press: https://t.co/1e9irM7cVU

[Michael A. Burstein @mabfan]

Thanks to years of reading recommendations of his friend Donald E. Westlake in essays by @LawrenceBlock, I finally picked up my first Westlake novel, "The Hot Rock," and it was wonderful. It reads like vintage Block. I've got a lot of great reading to look forward to.

[Lawrence Block @LawrenceBlock]

My pleasure. Those things are usually pap, and this one wasn’t. I read it aloud to Lynne.

[Lawrence Block @LawrenceBlock]

I may be late to the party, but I just read @HarlanCoben’s interview in the Guardian and it’s terrific. You’ll have to Google it yourselves.
