WORTH CONSUMING!

As my other entry says for this, I did finish The Big Sleep. Despite having started the second novelette, I didn’t finsih it. I lost the book on a plane somewhere. I hate losing things! I might get this again anyway and finish the other two stories. I was loving them! But in any case, I’ll mark it as completed.

WORTH CONSUMING!

I’ve finished the first novel in the book, The Big Sleep. This is the first Raymond Chandler book I’ve read and I find his style amazing. The descriptions and similes are excellent. Occasionally, I had to re-read, stop and think about the connections. One word describes the main character, Philip Marlow: attitude. He’s got a Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca style except a bit harder and even better one-liners: “I was neat, clean shaved and sober, and I didn’t care who knew it.”

I’ve started reading the second novel in the book, Farewell, My Lovely, which starts even stronger than the last one.
