Read any Raymond Chandler? You and I have very different taste in... Well, most things... but you might enjoy his work.

I'm pretty sure ive read one of his books...that or seen a movie of it...it was a long time ago...like maybe 6 years but i think ive read "Trouble Is My Business" and i think i liked it? heh ive read so much...working in a book store messed me up because i recognize all these titles and authors, but im not sure if i recognize them because ive read their work or because i stocked and priced a lot of their books.

however if memory serves correctly i did read him, and i liked it and i forgot about him, so i will be promptly finding more of his work.

thank you :) you are so much more useful than Chris :P heh

Damn, I was gonna suggest Raymond Chandler too. But for that noir detective sorta genre I think I prefer Dashiell Hammett. Oh! and David Goodis too! I love David Goodis. The dude is nuts, it's pulp, but written in a streaming sort of paranoid prose.
I have a few books by an Australian pulp writer, where the detective is an aboriginal dude named Napolean Bonaparte. That guy's pretty fun, but nigh impossible to find, his name's Arthur Upfield.
I've been reading H.P. Lovecraft lately. That's a good bit of fun pulpyness too. Unfortunately he writes mostly short stories aswell, but there are a few novellas, and the novellas are far awesomer.

Pulp for the win!

woo both Dashiell and David are people i have never heard of, thank you :) i will look in to them. i LOVE the darker detective novels.

short stories make me sad inside. right as i get in to them they end :( ive been thinking about trying some Lovecraft, but honestly hes got this vision of man that doesnt agree with me. ive tried him out once before and didnt like it, then again i was kinda reading him for vanity's sake back then ;)

that Australian author sounds like he *might* have been smoking crack heheh :P i will search for him as well, but probably at a later date right now i need to take myself far too seriously for a bit.
