At one point as a #longtimefed I was pretty familiar with the Miami airport, whether as the destination or a transit point. I also spent a long day at the airport greeting arriving participants and getting them onto the right shuttle bus. For another conference, my room overlooked the main runway.
Anyway, in addition to the sandwiches from La Careta, I also like the artwork on the walls.

A whopping 14/100! 🤣 Some of those posters were 😱!
Faves:
THE THIN MAN: [Nora Charles]: “Waiter, will you serve the nuts? I mean, will you serve the guests the nuts?“
DARK VICTORY: “Nothing can hurt us now. What we have can't be destroyed. That's our victory - our victory over the dark. It is a victory because we're not afraid.“
WUTHERING HEIGHTS: “I am Heathcliff!“ (I laugh at this one now).
Book 1 of the series. I‘d read some of the later ones, so it was interesting to go back to where it all started. #serieslove2025
pickMy first read of 2025! I love the Powell/Loy movies, and I think the first film does an excellent job at adapting this book. If you are not familiar with the title, this is a well done detective novel with fun, sassy characters and an intriguing mystery. But if you've seen the movie, it doesn't really offer much additional story or insight. Still, since it has been a while since I've watched the movie, I had a blast revisiting Nick and Nora.
panTwo thumbs down. I've never read Chandler, so I didn't realize I would have to muddle through blatant misogyny. The hostility with which he writes about his female characters is nauseating. And don't give me the "he's a product of his time" garbage. I've read plenty of literature from the time that doesn't normalize slapping women around and make every female character insipid and ridiculous. It's gross.
