- aulsmith : A good mystery, but the misogyny is pretty thick. Ross MacDonald is a lot like Chandler but easier to read.

- aulsmith : Thurber's getting a little old for modern tastes. I think the cartoons, the fables and "The Macbeth Murder Mystery" are hilarious, but you might not want to read it cover-to-cover.
