Comment on Michael Dibdin’s Aurelio Zen Mysteries Come to PBS by charlie hogue

I saw the book ratking at a bookstore on a long weekend vacation. I bought it on a whim. I read it and became a dibdin fan. I now have bought 5 others. That gal that i bought the first from asked me if i’d seen the pbs series and I told her no, but I wish that i had. I’m still reading them though, hah, loving it!!

Glad to have a recommendation for a book by an author new to me. For me, the fact that it is written pseudonymously seems to suggest credibility and revelation about an area I know little about.

I’m going to mention this one to my husband. Did you know you can rate your own review after you have posted? It helps readers know whether you just ‘liked’ a book or ‘loved’ a book.

Always looking for a good mystery. AND curious about N. Korea.
Sounds good!

A couple of months ago I made another attempt…didnt exactly work well since i could literally fit in it my phone, an id and a bank card…logistical failure since getting the stuff out of the bag was a hassle. But at that time I chose a Jane Eyre cover and it worked wonders as a conversation started

Thanks Sirley for posting. I have yet to try to make my own version, but I love the conversation starting appeal of these little “book bags”.
