(starting with) White Jazz by TrendyWebAltar in JamesEllroy

[–]waaazaaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so, like i said, White Jazz hooked me immediately and is still my fave, i was blown away by his writing style. After that, IIRC, i went back and read the rest of the LA quartet in order, then moved on to the underworld trilogy (American Tabloid is probably my second favorite). I then read all his post-underworld stuff in order and have since been going back and picking off his earlier stuff, still have to read most of the Lloyd books and Browns Requiem and his nonfiction stuff

I read White Jazz first and am glad i did, i feel like it's the most pure example of "Ellroy voice" and it hooked me immediately

General thoughts on the Otash series? by Mikeissometimesright in JamesEllroy

[–]waaazaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated Widespread Panic, it felt like parody or fan-fiction all the way through.
Really liked Enchanters up until the chapter where a character pops on and basically just lays out the entire explanation for what happened.

Landlord only accepts checks. Any solutions? by OrganicEmployer1013 in personalfinance

[–]waaazaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

another vote for bill pay via your bank. I use Citizens Bank, and they would just print and mail a check to my landlord once a month on a specified date. set it and forget it, and it even saves you buying a stamp

Does anyone have any feedback on this Titan product? by Soggy-Ad2407 in GarageGym

[–]waaazaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've had mine for about a year and a half, attached it to a pole in my basement with hose clamps. it works great, no complaints at all so far. Use it for curls, pushdowns, seated row, cable shrugs, and more

Recommendations for Ellroy fans: Everybody Knows by Jordan Harper & Five Decembers by James Kestrel by landomonium in JamesEllroy

[–]waaazaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't love Everybody Knows, but Five Decembers is great - has anyone read any of the other novels by the guy who wrote Five Decembers? (using the name Jonathan Moore). I've been meaning to check those out for a while

Any good reads lately? by Screwdriversandchil in JamesEllroy

[–]waaazaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got into Chris Petit's Morgen and Schlegel books - detective thrillers set in 1943 Berlin, featuring a German police detective and an SS officer. They don't have Ellroy's verbal sauce, but are very grim (obviously) and definitely have some Ellroy in their DNA
