As a senior citizen, I’ve read all these books. They are classics, but modern readers may find them a bit disappointing. Personally, I was hoping for a more up-to-date list. THE BIG SLEEP is hardly Chandler’s best novel, and is actually cannibalized from several short stories he wrote. Try his next book, FAREWELL MY LOVELY.

I agree. For a more contemporary book that reads like a classic, I would recommend The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
