They Shoot Horses, Don't They?: A Novel | Horace McCoy

pick

This was so good. Very noir, very bleak. I'd been aware of the title but had no idea what it was about. I then went down a 1930s depression-era dance marathon rabbit hole 🤯

Suet624 Have you seen the movie? 2d

BarbaraBB I loved this one! 2d

LeahBergen Stacked! I‘ve been meaning to read this for years. 2d

Oryx @Suet624 no. Should I watch? 2d

Suet624 Well it‘s depressing, for sure, but it is considered a classic. A young Jane Fonda is in it. 2d

Oryx @Suet624 I just watched the trailer. I'll hopefully find it somewhere to watch. 2d

julesG Internet archive? 1d

Cathythoughts Sounds good 👍🏻 stacking. 1d

Montreal Noir | John McFetridge, Jacques Filippi

I'm currently reading this collection of short stories set in my hometown of Montreal. I live in Ontario now and today bought these locally-made Montreal bagels. They're not bad but not as good as the real thing from St. Viateur Bagel.

Montreal bagels are the best! Sorry, New Yorkers.

Thanks for the tag @dabbe 😊

Crime fiction and mystery is probably my favorite genre, so it was great fun to peruse this list. Listed are the top three from the list that I HAVEN‘T read yet, but really want to.

dabbe I read THE THREE COFFINS. It's also known as THE HOLLOW MAN. It was classic noir, and I really enjoyed it. I'm adding quite a few to my TBR, too! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🎃🖤 2mo

In the Name of Ishmael | Giuseppe Genna

I picked this up at an Op shop based on the name and cover, took it as my recent read while travelling. The plot is far fetched and too much of a stretch and it just did not do it for me.

Drive | James Sallis

pick

‘I drive. That‘s what I do. All I do.‘

‘Driver‘, a Hollywood stunt driver by day, and a getaway driver by night.

Dark, atmospheric noir fiction. I liked the narration style. This was a fast paced story with all the right details to fully immerse you in the scenes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
