This month was fairly productive in my reading — I knocked out two more Carl Hiaasen books, and covered some ground in my goal to read 52 books this year. I’m about two books behind and I hope to make up those two books in April and be on pace for 52 books. We shall see!

In February I went to the beginning of Carl Hiaasen’s career, where he teamed up with Bill Montalbano to write three books — Powder Burn, Trap Line, and A Death In China.

My goal is to read deep, deep, deep into the FL literature cannon…but this month I got a bit sidetracked, mostly by Stephen King because one of my goals is to read all of his books. Here’s what my beach bum reading looked like this month:

Welcome to Edition 2 of Beach Bum Reading.

Stephen King’s Duma Key is full of the dark, psychologically creepy story line that we have come to expect from the horror master. It’s eerie, spooky, and takes place in Florida. In short, the novel is great fun.
