Of Mice and Minestrone: Hap and Leonard: The Early Years by Joe R. Lansdale
5.0
I have a long history with Joe Lansdale. I've been reading his books since the very early 90's when I ran across Nightrunners in a used book store, and I still have that old beat up paperback. I firmly believe that he is one of the great living writers of today. Don't tell him that though, he'll get all uppity and stuff.
These short stories are in a word, excellent. I particularly enjoyed Sparring Partner and The Sabine was High. His writing style is conversational and makes for easy reading. You don't need to have prior knowledge of Hap and Leonard to read this collection of short of short stories. Highly recommended.
