I am now reading a Rex Stout 'Nero Wolfe' novel written in 1938.

Were writers just better then?

PS. Last novel that I really enjoyed was Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke.

A lot of the ones that were, were banned, I hearsay. :-)

Just finished Chandler’s “The Lady in the Lake”, (1943) in which one of the characters was a Hollywood “Dope Doctor” who kept the jet set from seeing Pink Elephants in the morning. a la Michael Jackson.

Nothing on earth is new, really.

I don’t make enough time to read. I should change that.
