Book Review - The Thin Man (Dashiell Hammett)

[cybermule]

I read this on holiday, enjoyed it as a great period piece, but I think it was otherwise dull. Mostly what I remembered was enough drinking to make my liver ache by proxy, and a big chunk of info on Alfred Packer which i greatly enjoyed. It reminded me of Sin City, but I didn't actually enjoy it as much. Apparently "Red harvest" is much better - I'll give that a try at some point.

In other news, book club is still good and I have yet to want to kill anyone (and I'm not just saying that to cover my tracks because I know they might be reading). Long may this last. I will write off my bad goth experience in Exeter and embrace my dark side ;)

LOL. You are the universal set that is goth, excluding those members in the subset "bitchy goth". Which works for me. Even at 19 or 20 I couldn't engage with bitchery.
