It's been years since I've read Chandler, so it's great to be back chasing down leads.

A couple of years ago I had time to read the collected Raymond Chandler. The version I read had the short stories that he had pulled from publication, as they were later incorporated into his novels. Reading them was fun, because you really can see what he changed and what he didn't. The other shorts are mostly fun too, especially
Red Wind.
I also read his predecessor, Dashiell Hammett, author of
The Maltese Falcon and
The Thin Man. His short stories are also quite good.
