Chandler is a master of detective fiction; his work is enjoyable as a quick read but deep and interesting when taken just a bit more slowly; I am tremendously inspired by his essay, "The Simple Art of Murder" as words to live by

Invented the crime/pot boiler in America. Without Chandler there are no shabby private eye offices, no femme fatales, no "mean streets."
Cons: Hated women.
