A bit more tawdry than Chandler's prior novels, but still a helluva noir ride. I have enjoyed this noir self-challenge immensely this year.
I've just recently gotten a complete set of Graham Greene's novels, and this is the first one i plowed into. It was a pleasing read, and I plan to read more.
Starting Cadfael, enjoyed the first. We'll see how it goes.
I don't really like that much Gaiman fiction. I love his comic books. But this book turned out to be an absolutely delightful surprise for me. It was nothing like any of his other works, and I found this particular fairy tale enchanting.
Not bad for Hirahara-san's first attempt. I suspect this book was as much her exercising a Nisei past as much as it was for her characters. I'll be picking up the next book to see how it all shakes out. And to meet the mysterious Mari.
Some of these stories were truly fantastic. I am a huge fan of most things Sherlockiana, and this was a real treat for me.
I have started Ngaio Marsh's Alleyn mysteries on a suggestion from a fellow Agatha Christie fan. I found it quite enjoyable. Alleyn is quite the character, and I look forward to seeing where his story goes.
Meh. I am underwhelmed by Mr. Collins when he is not collaborating with Mr. Dickens or some of their other literary circle.
A little bit drier work than I am used to from Bryson, this was an interesting, albeit in his words "slim," biography of Shakespeare. Though in fairness, the book was more about what we don't know about Shakespeare, rather than what we do know. All in all an interesting read, though i desperately missed Brysons trademark humor.
