kwt, Seems lak I did red Chandler quite a while back. Yer right. He drips wif atmosphere, Cauliflowernia's answear to them Britishers thet write wif a lot a atmosphere. Actually, we got atmosphere in Southern writers like Faulkner, in Stephen King's New England horrors (if you lak thet kinda stuff) and of course, Chandler. I wrote you an inspired piece yesterdey but the frigging computer got kicked off and I lost everthin'. Do you know of a good website, a message place like this a one whar I can axe questions about modum speed and Real Player sound and gettin' kicked off at th' wrong time? Would appreciate it, and a course, I will look myself. Hev t' learn to write small pieces an' send 'em. So you may git more small pieces frem me, so's I dont lose 'em. Yers kindly, Hal
: : : Hey Hal, big talk is fun. If you do read Tom Jones, try Humphrey Clinker, which is fun too, and easier (for me) to read. : Thanks about Carver, you might want to take a look : at Chandler, if you are interested in what Los Angeles was like back in the 30's and 40's, before : the high-rises ruined it and the orange groves went. : Dispatches is excellent. : truble with civil war books, is that there are : many good ones, but if you start reading, you will never have time to read them all. I stick to World War One where I can make some headway.
