i finished "the big sleep" a couple of weeks ago. i thought it was kind of interesting as far as the period it took place in, but didn't think the story was all that great.
currently i'm about halfway through conor fitzgerald's "the dogs of rome" and am enjoying it much more than "the big sleep." but part of the reason is i really love italy and especially roma.
