I picked this up at my local indie bookstore last night and it is so cool! My parents grew up in the LA area and we took frequent trips there to see my grandparents when I was growing up. I lived in the area for a few years myself as a newlywed. I love LA and I think that's why I keep coming back to Chandler.
It‘s too hot to stay inside an AC free building. This seems about right to reread during a heatwave 🥵

This one is a tough one! Never thought I'd be able to find any author who was born on 23rd of July but here he is!!! #RaymondChandler and Not only I've found the author, I've also by chance found out I actually have a copy of his book! I got this from a second hand bookstore many years ago cause I collect this edition. Now I feel that I'm destined to read this!

so-soI can‘t say that I really ‘got‘ why this book is a classic. It was - for me - just ok. Read for a challenge this year, otherwise, it would never have been on my radar.
