Over the weekend, I also finished The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep, an early Lawrence Block book. The protagonist is Evan Michael Tanner, who has a medical condition that doesn't allow him to sleep. He uses the extra 8 hours a day to learn languages and read. He makes a living writing papers and exams for lazy but rich students. (Keep in mind this was written in 1966.)
Overall, an enjoyable bit of fluff. You can see the makings of the Lawrence Block who will be, but he's still feeling his way. Definitely worth a read, especially with these books all on sale right now.
