    Working Class British Literature of the Mid 20th Century

    That sounds very interesting, thanks for the tip! I must admit my list of British authors is quite thin. Not quite sure why this is, but there you have it. I think I would struggle to even name British authors from that period, except maybe for William Golding and the chap who wrote The...

    Any writers?

    This is a cool thread, really enjoyed skimming through it and experiencing other writers' pain and agony at rejection. Misery loves company! heheh I have a self-published novel on Amazon and Lulu. Funnily enough it is also a WWII novel, although more accurately post-WWII. Set in LA and Mexico...

    Classic train movies

    Heck yeah! One of my personal favourites. I would also recommend Switchback, a wonderful little crime thriller from 1997 starring Danny Glover, Dennis Quaid and Jared Leto. Although not set on a train, it worked trains into the plot in a most creative way. Danny Glover plays a most unusual...

    My New Johnson Leathers - Horween chromexcel overdyed Jacket

    Heck, that is an AWESOME jacket. Well done on the style and colour choice, although I must say I think it would look amazing in dark brown too. I did a lot of back and forth discussion with the owner there at Johnson and was enormously impressed with his diligence. Unfortunately I was unable to...

    Definition or Description of Noir

    The Shield is definitely noir IMO because the universe they occupy is almost completely amoral, although in terms of visual execution its a bit too sunny a lot of the time. Such a brilliant show!

    What Are You Reading

    My brother lent me Michael Chabon's Kavalier and Clay so I've started on that. Quite good so far. I'm hugely impressed with his command of period details. Also reading The Bomb Hunters, about British EOD guys operating in Afghanistan. Always interested to read about people who work in bomb...

    One Man's Search For A Cafe Racer

    My two cents, I dealt with both Johnson Leathers and Aero and both were great. That said, JL were truly excellent and went over and above with their service (I dealt with Alan over the phone and via email). Unfortunately it didn't result in a jacket at the end as I was gunshy about spending that...

    Good 1930's novels?

    The 30s era has unfortunately fallen into neglect because many people tend to leap from the 20s, which had all the glamour of the Jazz age and the flappers, to the post-war 40s, which is very well represented in film and literature. Of course, the main social event of the 30s was the Great...

    Definition or Description of Noir

    I too have long been fascinated by this genre. From what I understood it stemmed from a style of cinematography in post-war films where, much of the time, there were a great many shadows appearing on the screen, influenced by German impressionism if I'm not mistaken. The stories were also...

    A Life in Leather: profile of Aero founder Ken Calder

    Great article but I hate it when newspapers don't caption their photos. Who was the red-headed girl pictured, is that Holly?

    Noir Novels/Hard Boiled Fiction

    I hope you enjoy it. It was meant to be a homage to the books of the day that influenced me a great deal, Chandler and Hammett being the obvious ones. However, there is a lot of other influences in there too, notably James Ellroy and Jim Thompson (two of the greatest noir writers ever), and a...
