Getting Off: A Novel of Sex & Violence
Getting Off: A Novel of Sex & Violence | Lawrence Block, Jill Emerson
3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
SO THIS GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR... ...and when she walks out there's a man with her. She goes to bed with him, and she likes that part. Then she kills him, and she likes that even better. On her way out, she cleans out his wallet. She keeps moving, and has a new name for each change of address. She's been doing this for a while, and she's good at it. And then a chance remark gets her thinking of the men who got away, the lucky ones who survived a night with her. She starts writing down names. And now she's a girl with a mission. Picking up their trails. Hunting them down. Crossing them off her list...

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

I covered part of the picture so as not to offend anyone on Litsy.

Just saw this at my library. Careful with that knife!

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I have questions... 6y
keithmalek @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I probably don't have answers since I'm not actually reading this book. 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Fair enough. I will just have to imagine that this book is about the wacky misadventures of a down-on-her-luck cutlery salesperson. 6y

LauraBeth How can you not check out a novel that says it‘s a novel of sex and violence! On the cover! 😂 @TobeyTheScavengerMonk it could also be about a Civil War nurse about to do some surgery. 6y
BookNAround Interesting that he initially used a female pseudonym for this, especially since it looks like a total potboiler. 6y

ReadThisBookYall Your animals always pose so charmingly. My dog is terrified of the phone. Not the moving car or the cat. Just the phone. 🙄 9y
Mimi28 It was so muggy here yesterday and I should have been reading but all I could do was space out under the fan. Now my back is killing me for it. I agree your cats seem to be very comfy taking pics :) 9y
Liberty @Ambam She's a faded calico. 😊 9y
Simona @Liberty Cat with attitude. 9y
Amelie Pics like this make me sad, cuz I know I will never have time to read all the books! I want to read all the books! 😜 9y
