A short summary of the book The Maltese Falcon:
A bird dog tries to get the bird, without becoming the chick's prey or getting pecked by johnny law.
My favorite quote from the book:
"The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter."
Questions I pondered while reading The Maltese Falcon:
Does it make sense to have principles if no one else does?
How far does loyalty get you?
My thoughts about The Maltese Falcon:
Noir!
Political Incorrectness!
Getting out the scotch, peignoir, and marabou slippers for a re-read.
Dashiell Hammett was also a veteran.
