BRAVE NEW WORLD -Aldous Huxley
First re-read for many years. This is a scary read when you look at our society today where we have so many wanting to take away individual rights and form us into a flock of sheep.
People need read this more , '1984" has its moments but this is where we are heading.
FAREWELL MY LOVELY -Raymond Chandler
Marlowe, the best going around in the noir PI genre. A re-read but always worth it.
THE HIGH WINDOW - Raymond Chandler
Philip Marlowe gets the job done. So moral which can be hard work but great stories superbly written.
POINT COUNTER POINT - Aldous Huxley
I first read this ten years ago, the insight and subject matter, conservation etc is still relevant today but whereas I found the characters amusing then , this time around I found them to be rather horrible shallow people.
Still worth a read but perceptions change over time
