It's Pay Day.

[NOIRTRASH]

And every payday ( actually I have 2 paydays, pension and social security) I buy Kindle ebooks. Today I bought am anthology of noir short stories selected and edited by James Ellroy. I own the paperback, and the stories are winners.

A second anthology is WHO KILLED BOB TEAL by Dashiell Hammett. It includes THE SCORCHED FACE, about the only effort by Hammett I like.

And THE BIG SLEEP by Raymond Chandler. I own it in paperback but want the Kindle edition. Philip Marlowe is the best private eye character that ever was, and THE BIG SLEEP is where he got his start. Marlowe is where every noir writer starts.

I may buy 2 books by James Ellroy, to complete my collection of his stuff.

You're such a good socialist.

I'm a pragmatic socialist. A pragmatic socialist buys lotsa Kim Kardashian sex tapes. A regular socialist buys lotsa Hillary sex tapes. Pragmatic socialists piss money away on better shit.
