I'm reading Raymond Chandler's The Little Sister now and loving it -- I had forgotten how much fun his prose is.

More Chandler on the train this morning -- his prose is so comfortable, reading it feels like swimming in a warm pool. The funny Hollywood idiom sounds totally natural in Marlowe's narration. (And I have no idea whether anyone ever actually talked that way!)
