Lawrence Block. Burglars Can’t be Choosers (1977)

     Lawrence Block. Burglars Can’t be Choosers (1977) Written in what in the 70s passed for a “funny and feisty” style, this is almost unreadable, I gave up after about 30 pages. The narrator-hero is too cute for words. Apparently, he will find a corpse in his latest B & E target, but Block is so busy with his wink-wink nudge-nudge jokes that I lost interest, and didn’t get that far. (2004)
