Hollywood Moon: A Novel by Joseph Wambaugh. Police story set in LA about police unit that patrols the Hollywood area. 3rd in a series. Read in March.
Think I might like this one. Will have to see if our library has it.
You might want to read the first two in the series Alice, it's not necessary to read them in order, but they do follow each other chronolgically.
They are:
Hollywood Station: A Novel by Joseph Wambaugh
then
Hollywood Crows: A Novel.
I'll be interested in hearing what you think of them. I think they're pretty good.

10. Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty by Jeff Pearlman. Gossipy history of the Dallas Cowboys football franchise in the 1990's. Read in April, 2010.
11. Hellboy Volume 9: The Wild Hunt by Mike Mignola. One of the best of the Hellboy graphic novels in a good while! All are good, but this one was a step up. Read in May, 2010.
12. The Wordy Shipmates by Sarah Vowell. Vowell is one of my favorite essayists and history writers. Her take on the Puritan Massachusetts colony. Read in May, 2010.
13. Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen. Humorist Hiaasen is one of my favorites. A crooked scientist throws his wife overboard on a cruise, trying to get rid of her. He apparently forgot she was on her college swim team. Hilarity and shady high jinks ensue. Read in May, 2010.
14. The Bible Salesman by Clyde Edgerton. Coming of age story set in the south in the 1930's and 1950's. A good story, I plan on checking out more of Edgerton's books. Finished in May, 2010.
15. Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. Convicted felon Moist von Lipwig is given a choice by the ruler of Discworld's major city - Ankh-Morpork. He can either become the Post Master of the run down postal service, or he can be executed. Pratchett is funny and deep at the same time. Good stuff. Read in June, 2010.

Thanks Steven, I am always reading stuff out of order all the time. It would sure be strange to read something in the correct sequence, LOL!
