: Could someone let me know how often a book is selected for
reading
: and discussion and when the next novel is due?
It's a book a month, and a list goes out every Sunday night.
I try to
make sure books are planned out for the next month or two.
There's a
backlog of suggestions and the choices get picked from
there.
We try to stick to titles in print.
: I'm currently reading one of John Sandford's "Prey" series
with
: detective Lucas Davenport. I'm enjoying this series so far.
Is
: this type of novel appropriate for rara-avis, or are we
limited to
: the classics, ala Hammett and Chandler, et. al.?
We do spend a lot of time on the classics, but lots of
subscribers
have favourite contemporary hardboiled writers. I don't know
anything
about those Prey books, but perhaps you could say what's
hardboiled
about them?
Welcome to the list!
