We haven't left it out, we'd already mentioned it much
earlier in the same strand/s. Pop 1280 is my personal
favourite book of all time
(purely subjective opinion, of course) & I know many
others here & elsewhere consider it his best. We'd just
worked our way down the list to some of the less lauded books
of Thompson's ouvre. Check the archives out, it's worth doing
just for the info on books & authors you may not know of
- I used to consider myself more than a little knowledgeable
on the topic of hardboiled & noir lit but this list is
constantly drawing my attention to new authors & books,
many of whom I didn't even know existed let alone that they
would be of particular interest to someone with my
tastes.
