Read this on the train from Bergen to Oslo.
The Big Sleep where recurring Chandler protagonist, private investigator Philip Marlowe, is first introduced. Marlowe's gritty badassery and wisecracks are suave enough to make our favourite martini drinking spy look cheesy - Chandler 1, Fleming 0.
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall starred in a 1946 screen adaptation of the same name at the height of their notorious relationship; can't wait to get my hands on this Hollywood film noir.
Apparently The Big Lebowski was loosely based on this novel. I would agree with 'loosely'.
