IMO the book is far superior to the Bogart movie. I haven't seen the other two movie versions.

I didn't want to get The Maltese Falcon too early and not have it available when discussion starts so I haven't checked it out yet. I have been watching, every couple of days, to make sure that there are still two copies (out of three) available at my library so I could jump on the last one if it was getting close. It's been this way since this book was nominated a month ago.
Well, now is the time so I check again today and all three copies are checked out and there is a 5 person line to get one. ARGH!!! Maybe we'll have a bunch of new people join us for this discussion since I'm sure the run on the book is due to the NLBC. ![]() Fortunately, my other library has two copies and although they were checked out I put my name on the waiting list, just in case. I'm glad I did. I am first in line, and have been for almost 2 weeks now, so I should still have this in time. |

I’ve noticed the same thing at my library, and sometimes wonder if there are MR book club lurkers out there.
![]() I read the ebook when the old club selected it (I was a lurker and didn’t post in the thread). I’ve seen the movie. I’m going to try to find the audiobook version that Charlie recommended in the audiobook thread. |

I'm waiting on an audiobook version at my library. The waiting list is moving at a snail's pace. I think everyone ahead of me took their full two or three weeks; I was number five initially, and now I'm number two. Still hoping I have an outside shot at getting it in time.
