(Half-Price Books has a wonderful vintage section.) Originally published in 1951, Mickey Spilliane’s One Lonely Night is one of the many books that Spillane wrote about the adventures of a tough New York-based private investigator named Mike Hammer. That was actually kind of nice.Īs for the book that I decided to read, it was an old paperback detective novel that I purchased at Half-Price Books a few years ago. The snow outside was so bright that it actually generated enough light that I was able to read by it. Even though I had a flashlight with me, I quickly discovered that I didn’t need it. So, I decided to sit in bed and read a book. It was cold, I was shivering, and I couldn’t sleep. Because the power was down (not due to the rolling blackouts that had paralyzed the rest of the state but instead because some idiot drove into a substation) it was about 40 degrees inside of the house. Tuesday morning, around one a.m., the house was surrounded by six inches of snow. As you may have heard, we’ve had a bit of inclement weather down here in Texas.
