Progress: 5 down, 15 to go Which: Prince of Thieves, Chuck Hogan Owing to the fact that I picked up the book after watching the trailer for The Town, Thieves reads quickly and like a movie to me. I let the casting director do that heavy lifting for me and between you and me: Jeremy-Renner-as-Jem in my head is terrifying.  I like that the book doesn’t ask for and the fellas don’t want your sympathy. And not in an adolescent, “no, you shut up!” kind of way. There’s just the story and the way Hogan tells it and either it works for you or it doesn’t. It worked for me. p.s. Boston and I aren’t very good friends, so even though I Google Map’d the major locations for context (nerd!), my brain called up visuals from The Wire for Charlestown scenery. Weird.
