leonard to sontag

whew! i finally finished this leonard book. i don't know why it took me so long. it's not that it was bad, though all the sentence fragments did start to wear on me. i get enough sentence fragments at work. the book was fine. i wasn't overly impressed but it was fine. plenty of deadpan action. i heard mr leonard on npr around the time that this book came out in hardcover and it sounded good. it was my first literary leonard, though i've seen a few movies based on his work.

i think i'm going to try susan sontag now. i've never read her and i'm interested. there was a piece i think in the new york times recently that contained some of her journal entries when she was living in paris in the 1950s and 60s.
