RARA-AVIS: Re: One Ross Macdonald book

Hi everyone, I'm new to the list and have been lurking for a while. I would love to participate in a Ross Macdonald month. I'm fairly new to the genre, but since the spring I've been reading as much hard-boiled and PI fiction as I can get. I've only read to Archer novels: THE IVORY GRIN and FIND A VICTIM, and the collection THE NAME IS ARCHER, so any thing else will be a new experience for me. Chuck
