I found 'Homicide' a bit worthy. Effete journalist a bit awe-struck by real American men/detectives..
Just finished Pynchon's Inherent Vice and the Keith Richards autobiography. Both great.. (Richards book surprisingly good...). Halfway through a cracker; Pakenham's 'The scramble for Africa', and started Foster Wallace's 'Infinite Jest'; a book I've wanted to read for a long time... (And I hate the Smith/Eggers axis of evil....)
