"I have lived in other cities but been inside only one."- Ben Hecht
(In case you're wondering, that city was Chicago. 1001 Afternoons in Chicago is one of my very favorite books about our fair city, and is due for a re-reading in the coming year.)

Ah, love Ben Hecht. Been meaning to read more of his stuff, but always love his movies.

I'd say stick to his non-fiction like 1001 Afternoons. I read his best-regarded novel, Erik Dorn, but didn't think much of it.
