Michael Connelly did the same thing with Harry Bosch and jazz a few years back, too. I like the idea of a soundtrack running through a novel. It helps with the mood and feel of a book. It also reveals character. As for what songs are in my head? Well, I have a six-year-old so it's various Veggie Tales songs. On the more adult-oriented front, the main riff from Chicago's "South California Purples" is currently jamming in my head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
