I read some free kindle books back in the day, that probably only a few thousand other people have read, so very plausibly no one on Lemmy has ready.

So, what books have you enjoyed that you feel confident no one else on Lemmy has read?

"Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett.

Almost 100 years old, and it is still one of the best things you'll ever read.

If the plot sounds familiar, it's because it's been stolen over and over and over.

A private detective is hired to investigate corruption in a small city. When the man who hire him is gunned down, the unnamed hero decides to set all the town's gangs at each others' throats to see what shakes out.
