The books I am considering are an odd mix, including: Billy Bathgate by EL Doctorow Time and Again by Jack Finney Crooks by Lou Berney The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy by Cap78 Related: Literaturre from Ireland/U.K. Books where unsettling/new/unexpected customs and tribal groups emerge Classics/contemporary fiction from the German speaking region Books with a ocean setting (beach town, elements of surfing/free diving/ whales would be cool! ) A book that will blow my mind
