Chandler, Michael Connelly,
> Robert Crais, James Ellroy, Walter Mosley, Stuart M.
Kaminsky,

Prather,

> noir and hardboiled writing
>
> Having a theme for a month, where people can read
any book by a particular
> author or in a certain series or on a certain topic,
is easier all around
> than the old book-of- the-month readings we'd do. It
brings up a lot more
> discussion on the list and it doesn't tie everyone
to a certain book that
> may be hard for them to find. I encourage everyone
to read something
> related to the theme of the month and mention it on
the list. All the
> regular RARA-AVIS talk goes on as well, of
course.
>
> Suggestions for future themes include: the
continuing question of
> hardboiled women writers, Barry Gifford, Patricia
Highsmith, W.R. Burnett,
> Nick Tosches, politics, Los Vegas, gangster-related
books, and moral
> ambiquity.

month.
