Ohhh-KAY then.

I returned a couple library books this evening, and picked up Callahan's Con. I was thinking as I went to do it that it's a pity that the series ever changed people and places - the original books in the original bar are still by far the best.

If I'd known it was that prophetic, I might have left this book in the library. I am only four pages in, and so far, I am debating stopping. It's silly, it's stupid, it's not funny - it's absurd, I must grant it that, but I fail to see what's amusing about the punch lines - it's a bunch of what he's done, only on steroids, and without the humor or (as yet) the plot.

I should have known, really, they've been going downhill. And maybe the book gets better after this and maybe it doesn't, but...gah.
