I often listen to audio books while on patrol. I'm pretty much limited to what we have at the public library so I typically just grab something off the shelf to try out. Just finished The Dakota Cypher by William Dietrich.
It was a decent adventure, but I don't recommend it as it has way too much sex. But, a description of of the main character was like looking into my own soul...
"I'm a frustrated treasure hunter [entrepreneur], gambler, sharpshooter, and adventurer..... I'm a man cursed with the compulsion to toss the dice, to bet it all on the main chance, to listen to dreamers.... I believe in luck and opportunity. It's not that I'm lazy, just easily bored. I like novelty. I'm curious to see what's over the next hill."
That's the most dead-on, accurate description of who I am that I've ever heard.... kinda scary actually. Guess that's why I like this job.
