Drive
Drive | James Sallis
Much later, as he sat with his back against an inside wall of a Motel 6 just north of Phoenix, watching the pool of blood lap toward him, Driver would wonder whether he had made a terrible mistake. Later still, of course, there'd be no doubt. But for now Driver is, as they say, in the moment. And the moment includes this blood lapping toward him, the pressure of dawn's late light at windows and door, traffic sounds from the interstate nearby, the sound of someone weeping in the next room .Thus begins Drive, a new novella by one of the nation's most respected and honored writers of noir fiction. Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., the story is, according to Sallis, ''about a guy who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. In classic noir fashion, he is double - crossed and, though before he has never participated in the violence ('I drive. That's all.'), he goes after the ones who doublecrossed and tried to kill him.''

‘I drive. That‘s what I do. All I do.‘

‘Driver‘, a Hollywood stunt driver by day, and a getaway driver by night.

Dark, atmospheric noir fiction. I liked the narration style. This was a fast paced story with all the right details to fully immerse you in the scenes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spent most of today reading The Exorcist, so starting something not so spooky on Kindle tonight.

"Well, is there a deluxe Guzman somewhere around?"

I love this flirty line in both the movie and the book!
I'm tracking down Driven, the sequel, but it will be a few weeks before I can get my hands on one! My birthday is on the 20th so maybe I can get it then!! #favoritebooks #drive #jamessallis #ryangosling

Took the day/night off from Listy post books thin...but worry not, fellow book nerds, I'll be back soon - back before you know it! (And by that I mean I'll probably be posting by midnight. 😂)
