The Big Sleep is a good book, but it just didn't hold the charm of a Hammett, for me. To each his own, I guess! :)<br /><br />I just read the eldest's first article and it was nicely written. It fascinates me what floats his boat.

I plan to read Maltese Falcon next month. My husband who loves that genre is partial to Chandler, but he says Hammett is no one to sneeze at. :-)<br /><br />Congratulations to your eldest!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-61251160681766748002007-01-27T11:48:00.000-06:002007-01-27T11:48:00.000-06:00Bybee,

Dash was a star. :)<br /><br />We have a nice hardback (no illustrations), although the first time I read the book I had a slightly water-damaged paperback that I'd bought for probably a dime. It was such a delicious read that I made my husband read it and then passed that copy on to a friend and bought a better one for the good shelves. Such is the life of a book addict. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-25181864252313616972007-01-26T23:51:00.000-06:002007-01-26T23:51:00.000-06:00I read Pablo's copy of The Maltese Falcon about a ...I read Pablo's copy of The Maltese Falcon about a year and a half ago. It was one of those fancy hardcover books with a matching little shelf-box...can't think what they're called now... Anyway, it was great & the illustrations were really great!

Thanks, I'll have to hop over to the library...Les,<br /><br />Thanks, I'll have to hop over to the library to use their wireless connection, this weekend, so I can see your version of the meme. If I could get myself up in the morning and make it a habit to go there with my laptop a couple days a week it would really help. Thanks for the positive thoughts and the whooping noises for Daniel. Finally, I can see evidence he's mine. LOL<br /><br />Iliana,<br /><br />I'll have to pop over to see yours, too. Remains of the Day is one of those books that I loved so much I tried to talk everyone into reading it and even bought extra copies to give away. That's really unusual, at least for me. <br /><br />I've seen versions without the sci-fi questions. It's more fun reading an individualized version, anyway. I did drop a couple of questions that didn't work for me.<br /><br />Angela,<br /><br />Thanks. Time Rider is by a friend in my former writers' group. I keep begging her to write a sequel - last I heard she hadn't, but I'll have to write to her to find out. It's been quite a while since I've spoken to her. I think you'd enjoy it. <br /><br />The Maltese Falcon is a great book. I've read it twice and nudged a few people into reading it (including my husband - he enjoyed it). I think I've read three or four books by Dashiell Hammett and TMF is the best, but I really like his writing.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-695070325797623522007-01-26T11:42:00.000-06:002007-01-26T11:42:00.000-06:00Time Rider and The Maltese Falcon..

Even if I'd consider a lettuce leaf as an option, I have to concentrate if I cook. I'm a survivalist cook - only do it when I have to in order to survive - so I can't imagine cooking and reading!<br /><br />And thanks for the congrats; I'll pass them on. :)<br /><br />Angela,<br /><br />I'll have to go look at yours. I deleted one question - the urban or something fantasy. I didn't even know what it meant! LOL <br /><br />Which books are you going to add? I'm curious. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-30855590828325889652007-01-26T08:16:00.000-06:002007-01-26T08:16:00.000-06:00Too funny.
