Mark Bernstein: The Bullet That Missed
This clever confection is a mystery about murderers who don’t kill people and murders that mysteriously do not occur.
Me? Can’t go wrong with 📚 Richard Osman.
It’s been a while since I read him .. when I did .. absolutely loved .. as did many others .. and certainly not lacking in literary skills and abilities .. sold lots AND great plaudits from his peers - and yet today we hear nothing. Why don’t we see more of 📚 J.P. Donleavy❓
Just linking because Om calls out the McNally series from Larry Sanders. 📚 Brilliant Books. No idea if I loved them because of the reasons Om provides - or just that they are such good books.
Surprised they never became a movie series.
Another 📚book added to my pile - apparently Karl Weick, argued that when it comes to models, it is more important to be useful than perfect.
Strike me that he’s riffing on George’s quote.
Another From Seth
But now, particularly with digital output, we’re doing it backwards.
Really great analogy - and IMHO - infinitely superior to the Pluribus analogy - at least my takeaway of same - although that is a different post.
That said - it would be so much easier if Seth not only came checked the story’s author - but maybe added a link?
So you don’t have to dive down the rabbit hole ..
🔗📚 The book (Tunneling To The Center Of The Earth) .. that contains the short story
Just discovered 🔗📚 Linchpin by Seth Godin - and I wonder how I missed it - because I wonder if it is a twist on my ‘Blue Ocean of Org Charts’ - will try to find the post.
Finished reading: 📚🔗 A Cold Wind From Moscow by Rory Clements - and yeah - not really - just way too slow for my taste.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finished reading: 📚🔗 The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman - and every bit as good - better(?) as the first four.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💬📚 Written in ‘63 - he died in ‘69 - book finally published in ‘80 .. so arguably he knew nought of our world today …
And yet …
💬📚Lovely. Captures the mustiness of some of my favourite bookstores over the years.
