On my "A" stack of books to read (but further down) is a collection of Dashiell Hammett's novels (ISBN 978-1-88301167-3). Some elitists may not want to consider his writings as literature, but his contribution to 20th century culture is not to be undervalued. When I get to these novels, I'll try to make a few posts about them.
I am mentioning it now, because I just realized that he spent some time in Tacoma WA when he was trying to get treatment for tuberculosis. It's probably a sad connection to have, but on the other hand many in my fair city are fans of his writing (and likely I will be also once I start reading him).
And another much further down the "A" stack is Raymond Chandler (of the same genre as DH's stories)--more about him later.
Stay tuned.
