Friday Fun: Hardboiled Edition

As regular readers of this blog know, I'm mostly a reader of sf, with forays into mystery and horror. Well, lately, I've been reading quite a bit more in the hardboiled and noir mystery genres than usual. And, being a librarian, I've been searching around the Web for related reading lists in the hardboiled, noir and general mystery fields. Nothing causes librarian hearts to go pitter patter more than a couple of good reading lists!

In any case, I thought I'd share what I've found so far:

• An Informal Reading List by Ron Goulart
  
• The Hardboiled Era: A Checklist, 1929-1958 by Geoffrey O'Brien
  
• The Best Hardboiled and Noir, 2000-2004 by Juri Nummelin
  
• 200 Noirs by Allan Guthrie
  
• The 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century Selected by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association
  
• 100 Best Crime & Mystery Books by HRF Keating
  
• The Thrilling Detective Hall of Fame
  
• Hardboiled Crime Fiction at the Springfield Library

Hard Case Crime have a good list of links. My York colleague Bill Denton also has a world of hardboiled goodness at RARA-AVIS.

If you know of any others, please feel free to share.
