26) "Warlord of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Book 3 in the "John Carter of Mars" series. Fabulous swashbuckler (the end of a trilogy even though the series goes on for 11 books total), filled with danger, intrigue, true love, and the coincidences that fill ERB's books. I could almost see Douglas Fairbanks leaping about in a screen version of this; too bad the film didn't do better, would love to see all of these books come to the screen.

I just finished the Hunger Games trilogy. The ending was very emotional and the action was great! It's an extremely violent tale for something marketted at teens. (I haven't seen the movie.)

27) "Live and Let Die" by Ian Fleming, read by Michael Whitfield
Haven't read this for years. Fun, typical for Fleming Bond adventure, thrills, spills etc.
Cringe inducing portrayal of blacks, tho, who are featured throughout in Harlem, etc; not sure if it was just the times that Fleming was portraying factually, or a well-bred English whiteboy writing stereotypes. he The reading didn't help: Whitfield read everything languidly, so that "was ravaged by a baracuda" was given the same reading as "he walked down the street"

@ Wallace:
I think Black Ice Score was my second Parker novel and while I enjoyed it at the time, I don't remember there being much 'oomph' in it that I now love about the series.
I recently read 'The Seventh' and I loved it!!!
Parker was angry (!) and you know that doesn't happen often. (In Butcher's Moon too)
btw, Darwyn Cooke included a short adaptation of 'The Seventh' in the MARTINI EDITION collection.

Charles Bukowski's "The Most Beautiful Woman in Town".
It's such a relief being back in North America, as the only Bukowski book I had in Japan was "Ham on Rye", which I must have read at least twice annually.

THE BLACK ICE SCORE is a fine book, but probably my least favorite of the
Parker novels.
Oh, and Lars, that bit about THE SEVENTH being in THE MARTINI EDITION...
*grrr*

I'm re-reading Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny. The jumping around in time confused me quite a bit the first time I read it, so I'm hoping to have a better handle on the chronology this time. His writing really is wonderful at times.
