This week the book is The Gods of Gotham by Lyndsay
Faye. It is rather a dark story about
the time when the NY police force was just getting formed.
Truthfully, my stoicism was all bluff – the thought of
seeing myself turned my stomach. It was
a coward’s avoidance, not a resigned and phlegmatic survivor’s.

Very interesting! I just read (last week or so) a non-fiction book about the early years of NYC police.
And I, too, love your blog name.

Great idea. The best non-fiction book I have read for years was Better http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2011/11/better-by-atul-gawande.html
