Books read in 2012

I have been reading books written by Elmore Leonard that the FX TV series Justified is based on. The main character in the books and TV series is Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. The description on Wikipedia describes Givens so well: "Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is something of a 19th century-style officer in modern times, whose unconventional enforcement of justice makes him a target with criminals and a problem for his superiors in the U.S. Marshal Service. As a result of a controversial but "justified" shooting of a mob hit-man in Miami, Givens is reassigned from Florida to Lexington, Kentucky, a district that includes Harlan County, a rural mining area in the east of the state, where Raylan was born and raised."

The books are well written and are a fast read. Maybe they are a fast read for me because I love the TV show Justified. Either way, they are both good entertainment.
