Finished The Big Sleep. A good page-turning mystery. Marlowe is a great central character. He has a wit that makes the first person narrative a delight to read. Chandler's writing is also absorbing. It's literate sans pretension. He also operates with the idea that incidental characters are worth fleshing out. Even when someone is only on two pages you get a vivid sense of who they are.
