What is your favourite crime novel? Noir, hard boiled, even slasher-type of narrative, give me suggestions.

Shell Games by Craig Welch
It's nonfiction, and about the geoduck black market in Washington and the wildlife police trying to control it. Crazier than most fiction crime stories.

neat
i know a bunch of people that would go duck hunting for spare cash
absolutely shit work, but endurable if you're desperate
tried to sign on to an operation
surprisingly hard to get hold of anyone supposedly in charge
had to practically beg for a job. ghosted by the 'hiring manager' regardless.

why do people, and particularly famous people, take pictures like this
it's like they want to be blackmailed and ruined

A dessert is something you eat at the end of a meal. A desert is something you deserve. It just happens to look like the term for a dry, sandy place, but it's a different word.

>> No.11699588

>>11698942
except it's pronounced like dessert and not desert

and they are actually pronounced differently

NOBODY says "just dezerts", they say "just "DUHZurts"
