      Love those authors, thought this guy must have access to my bookshelves! BUT I have a real problem with John D. McDonald's Travis McGee. I find him so sanctimonious and smug. Be ecologically aware, but Travis can live where he likes. Also, could not abide the cliched "sexual healing" the females all get to enjoy at the end. I only read about half dozen before I gave up on them, the Deep Blue Goodbye was a good read. Ross is the far superior McDonald, Lew Archer, the love child of Marlowe and the Continental Op, moves out into 50s suburban California and continues where they left off. I often feel sorry for Block's Matt Scudder; there are a couple of paragraphs towards the end of Sacred Ginmill I found heart wrenching. Stark's Parker novels are best in read in order, not at all essential for understanding but more satisfying. Parker is a genius construction; completely clinical and ruthless yet not a psychopath, Stark's balance is perfect. Slow Horses translated perfectly to TV, hope they continue with series. Jonathan Latimer sadly seems to get overlooked. His 1930s hard boiled comedies with the perpetually drinking William Crane (written just post prohibition) are tremendous and often hilarious, also interesting to read the stand alone Solomon's Vineyard and consider the problems it gave the censors at the time of publication. Tame by modern standards. Too few novels by James Crumley, wish there were more. Always, a soft spot for early Robert Crais, LA Requiem is superb, he has become a bit formulaic as the series has continued (k'ching!) and buddies Cole & Pike now too effective to ever seem challenged, but I still read every new one. I wish I had friends like them. Will definitely be giving Manchette a try, I have missed him entirely. Isn't it odd how that happens?

    This is great. I've been a huge Chandler fan since I was a kid, but other than that I'm pretty clueless on American authors, so it's nice to get some insight. I did read Hammett's Continental Op stories on a recommendation from a friend and had a great time. Same goes for John Fante's Ask The Dust, which I'd be very interested in your take on. Also, I don't know if you've ever read Philip Kerr, but based on your book videos I think you'd really love his acclaimed Bernie Gunther novels. I'd definitely recommend picking up the Berlin Noir collection. Keep up the great videos.

    I love the amazing rapid pace of dragon ball. Toriyamas illustrations and panel flow are so incredible that dozens of chapters can disappear in instants. Its the most buttery smooth reading experience ive had and i try to emulate that in my own writing.

    If you're on a mystery streak, you gotta check out Frederic Brown. He's every mystery writer's favorite modern mystery writer. The novels to start with would be Madball, The Screaming Mimi, and The Far Cry. Also a great mystery story collection called The Shaggy Dog and Other Murders. His speculative fiction is also wonderful. For that, I'd start somebody with the classic collection Nightmares and Geezenstacks.
