What are you reading the week of August 17, 2014? [View all]

Sorry, readers. Honestly, I had too much fun on Saturday evening so I missed starting this weekly thread—too much Irish whiskey.

I am reading Don Winslow's The Winter of Frankie Machine. I guess I'm going to read all these books by Winslow. He has a real knack.

I get the feeling Don was deeply engaged in the DEA or organized crime at one time. He must have been a surfer too.
