Elmore Lenoard

Any recommendations on Elmore Leonard books? I used to read him all the time but got out of the habit. Last one I recall had a stewardess as one of the characters and, ultimately, was made into a movie.

Thanks

The last thing I read from him was Hot Kid and I liked it quite a bit.

I second Hot Kid, and recommend its sequel, which I think is called Up in Honey's Room. Both excellent.

Cuba Libre
Tishimongo Blues
Pagan Babies, which involves Rwanda and is one of Leonard's more extraordinary explorations of a serious topic (and it's still Elmore Leonard!!).

These are all excellent.

I think that would be Rum Punch which was made into the movie Jackie Brown.

I don't read a lot of his books but I enjoyed Get Shorty and Maximum Bob.

Thanks, that was 'Rum Punch'. If you haven't read it, you might enjoy 'Stick' which was also made into a movie (same name back in the mid-80's)

I don't know if you have library access buy my library's ebook collection has a lot of his stuff. Maybe yours does, too.
