What I'm Reading: more Moore: You Suck

You Suck is the sequel to one of Moore's first books, Bloodsucking Fiends. I thought BSF was his weakest book and really was not looking forward to another book with the annoying C Thomas Flood and Jody. Flood is 19, and like most guys that age, boring. Jody is an interesting character though. Perhaps the strongest similarity between Moore and Robins is that they both seem to enjoy writing female characters with depth and strength.

Moore's story telling and gift for dialogue is always entertaining, but this story is not his strongest. I found this disappointing after his run of Lamb, Fluke, Stupidest Angel and A Dirty Job. I enjoyed another story set in Sucka Free and cameos by characters from A Dirty Job, but otherwise would skip this book.

I'm looking around for more fiction and planning our trip to Atlanta this weekend. Good southern food is acoming.

The Animas is still low and clear, except for a mile or two where they are doing erosion control clouding the river from Highway 160 downstream. Rez stockers are getting a bit smarter, a bit bigger, but will keep your line consistently tight.
