What day will the discussion thread go up?

Is it always on the same date of every month?

I personally voted for Sh*t My Dad Says, since I already have it on my Kindle to be read. I don't think I will participate if The Long Goodbye wins (as it looks likely to do) since that seems to be a series novel and I would probably be lost without reading the preceding entries.

Not a concern, Quake. The Long Goodbye was the first Chandler I read, and I had no problem with it.

It's not a series novel - anymore than a Sam Spade, Ellery Queen, Sherlock Holmes, or Miss Marple novel is a series novel. I.e. it's the same detective but complete (can I say 'discrete'?) novels.

Nuff said, will expand when discussion begins...hope to be well into Eye of the Needle by then.

That's encouraging, because I never finished The Big Sleep.

They promoted dreams, that also had that problem with eye kissing her swimming pool cleaning fluid. It is the progress, my friend.

One like dreams will take a long time to develop. Ciao dreams.

You got so much into it eh? There is a nice thread going on about imagination while reading.

What happens when you read "Kiss me stranger" ?
or "The Naked Ape", that is for sure a book that you read when we were kids
