A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

THE MALTESE FALCON - Dashiell Hammett
A treasure worth killing for. Sam Spade, a slightly shopworn private eye with his solitary code of ethics. A perfumed grafter named Joel Cairo, a fat man named Gutman, and Bridget O'Shaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime.
The original noir private eye author at the top of his game. Most will have seen the film but the books streets ahead.
