Elmore Leonard!!!

I just finished reading his latest, “Road Dogs,” and laughed myself silly the whole time. Damn, the guy is good.

Here’s a fun NPR interview with the master.

What’s your favorite book of his? Mine? Probably “Get Shorty,” but they’re all good. When the gator arrives in “Maximum Bob,” I admit I about choked on my coffee I was laughing so hard.

As a fellow Detroiter, I’ve been a big fan of Leonard’s for years. A lot of people don’t realize they took the great movie western, 3:10 to Yuma, from one of his stories.
