but seriously, I do enjoy everything I've read of Raymond Chandler (whom I called Dashiell Hammett on Jeopardy!, to my continuing shame), and Dashiell Hammett, and a bit more modern, Walter Mosley and Elmore Lenoard.

ps: the movies adapted from their works are generally good as well

He's a hack who can't write worth shit. Action pulp for angry teens. (n/t)

Are you saying that you don't know or that you found the novelization of the movie Clueless to be a particularly dark and gritty read? (n/t)

One of the best movies evar. (n/t)

What do you think. (n/t)

I think having Hubert Selby, Jr. write the novelization was an odd choice. (n/t)
