Why Beerslinger’s a dick- NOT RELATED TO HIS EXCELLENT ARTICLE BELOW
posted by Finley(Note- the title and this article are meant sarcastically. Take it as such, and understand Beerslinger’s one of my oldest and closest friends and that I am in fact very grateful for what he did that I describe below.)
Beerslinger’s a dick.
See, a couple months ago he got me hooked to the novels of Greg Rucka. He bought the first two novels in the Atticus Kodiak series for me- Keeper and Finder. Gave them to me for free, in fact. Kinda like a drug dealer. And sure enough, I got hooked.
Rucka’s Atticus Kodiak is a professional bodyguard. The Kodiak books are exciting, enthralling and tough to put down. I purchased the fourth book in the series and couldn’t find the third or fifth. Here, Beerslinger proved to be a dick again by warning me not to read the fourth book before the third, as it could ruin the story and the surprises for me. Only a dick would look out for my enjoyment factor like that, you see.
He recently came back to town for a day, and once again proved how big a dick he is by giving me copies of the third and fifth books for free- FREE, I SAY!!! I managed to read through the three books in a week- actually, that isn’t quite correct. It took five days. The fifth book, the longest one- that one I read in less than 24 hours because I simply couldn’t put it down.
And now, I’m pissed. See, I got so into these books that now I’m gonna have to wait for Rucka to come out with the next book in the Kodiak series. I’m gonna have to suggest to my friends and others that they HAVE to read these books. I’m going to have to loan my copies to my father, a mystery and suspense fan, so that he can enjoy them. And worst of all, I have to thank Beerslinger for pointing me to these books and helping me discover one of my new favorite things.
Thanks, Beerslinger. Thanks a whole lot, dick.
Out.
