Whilst trying to slog through Ulysses I picked up King Suckerman by George P. Pelecanos and I really enjoyed it, much more then Ulysses, I got through it, just, and yes some of it was enjoyable and it is extreamly well written but large sections of it were unnessesary IMO.
king Suckerman is a crime novel set in 1970 Washington, and is the second part of a quarted of novels all taking place in Washington in different eras. I just ordered the first part of the series The Big Blowdown set in the 50s.
