[펌]밤새로도록 읽을 수 밖에 없는 추리소설들!! 당신은 손을 뗄수가 없다.

2004 토론토에서 열린 바우처콘-세계추리소설 박람회-에서는 4명의 추리소설 잡지 에디터들과 한명의 추리소설 비평가가 모여 '과연 밤을 새면서까지 읽을 수 밖에 없는 추리소설은 무엇인가'하고 이야기를 나누었다. 이 리스트는 그 결과다.

ALL-NIGHTERS: BOOKS YOU CAN’T PUT DOWN
Bouchercon 2004, Saturday, October 9, 2004 at 4:00 p.m.
This panel appeared to be a great success. The room was packed and we quickly ran out of the 70 hand-outs. So, as promised, here is the list of a portion of our favorite books, some of which we were able to present to the listeners. We editors (and one reviewer) had so much fun that we hope we can do it again next year -- with different lists. One person in the audience asked what "Reserve List" means. It was our back-up list in case we ran out of titles to talk about. We didn't.


GEORGE EASTER, EDITOR OF DEADLY PLEASURES MYSTERY MAGAZINE (deadlypleasures.com) 조지 이스터, 데들리 플레져의 편집장.

I didn't list a Michael Connelly title nor a Lee Child title on purpose, even though they rank at the very top of my list. I knew someone else would do so, and that gave me room to talk about other books.(조지 이스터가 이렇게 말한 것은 그가 광적인 리 차일드와 마이클 코넬리의 팬이기 때문이다)

새로운 아마존 영화

에곤 쉴레

법정 스님 " 버리고 떠나기"

'지난달에도 나는 책을 열두상자나 치워버렸다. 책의 더미로부터 자유로워지고 싶어서다. 책을 좋아하는 친구나 도서관으로 보냈다. 일상적인 내 삶이 성에 차지 않거나 다시 시작하고 싶을때 나는 내가 가진 소유물들을 미련없이 정리 정돈한다. 소유물이래야 주로 책이므로, 그 책을 치워버리고 나면 개운하고 홀가분해서 내 삶에 새로운 탄력과 생기가 솟는다. 산에 들어와 살면서 이런 짓을 나는 수없이 되풀이 하고 있다. 그렇지 않았다면 지금쯤 내 둘레는 온통 서책 더미로 울타리를 이루었을 것이고, 내 정신공간 또한 형편없이 옹색해졌을 것이다. '

지난주부터 매일매일 병원으로 퇴근한다. 아버지는 내가 철들때부터 내 기억에는 항상 법정 스님의 책을 읽으셨다. 이 책 ' 버리고 떠나기' 도 아빠와 따로 살게 된 후 아주 오랜만에 보는 책이다. 여러번 반복해서 줄치고, 형광펜으로 하이라이트 하시며 읽으신 흔적을 볼 수 있었다. 그 중에서 펴져있던 부분이 ' 나의 휴식시간' 그리고 위의 글이었다.

어렸을적에는 법정스님의 책들을 무조건 기피했다. 아빠가 좋아했기 때문이고, 지금도 그렇지만 물욕으로 가득찬 연약한 존재인 '나' 란 인간과 영 맞지 않는 책이라고 생각했기 때문이다.

우연히 읽게 된 위의 문구는 나의 우스운 사람 보는 기준에 의해 ( 책 많이 읽는 사람 = 좋은 사람) 법정 스님에 대해 다시 보게 한다.

십여년이 넘게 항상 곁에 있었던 책인데, 넘겨 보는 것은 처음이다.

위의 글에 이어서 법정스님은 학교 다니다가 절에 들어갈때 가장 힘든일이 ' 책들과의 이별' 이었다고 한다. ( 호감도 상승) 고르고 골라 세 권을 들고 올라갔다고 한다. 나중에는 그것도 시들해지더라고 한다. 어떤 경지인지 절에 올라가보지 않은 나로서는 알기 힘들지만, 그 경지는 요즘 내가 읽고 있는 안톤 체홉의 단편집중 '내기' 를 연상시키기도 한다. 한 젊은 변호사가 백만장자 은행가와 내기를 하고 십오년동안 감금된다. 십오년동안 있으면 이백만루블을 받는거고 그 전에 못 참고 나오면 은행가가 이기는거다.  십오년동안 온갖 책들을 섭렵한 그 변호사는 깨달은 바가 있어 십오년을 채우는 몇시간을 남겨두고 나오게 된다. 

'그대들의 책은 나에게 지혜를 가져다 주었다. 지칠 줄 모르는 인간의 사고 능력으로 몇 세기에 걸쳐 이룩해 낸 모든 것들이 나의 두개골 속에서 작은 언덕으로 쌓였다. 내가 그대들 누구보다도 현명하다는 것을 나는 안다. 또한 나는 그대들의 모든 책을 경멸한다. 이 세상의 모든 행복과 지혜를 경멸한다. 그 모두가 시시하고 무상하며 신기루처럼 공허하고 기만적인 것이다..'

뭐, 난 어떻든 책을 버릴 수도 기증할 수도 주기도 힘든 인간이다. 팔아서 다른 책 사면 몰라도. ^^;;

The Top 100 Hard-Boiled Characters

of the Twentieth Century,
As Chosen by the Members of Rara-Avis,
and compliled by Joe Dante and Mark Blumenthal

In March and April of 2002, the members of Rara-Avis, the web's premier disscussion group for all things hard-boiled, decided to poll its members on the The Top 100 Hard-Boiled Characters of the Twentieth Century.

Readers were invited to submit their top twenty votes via e-mail. In announcing the winners, co-compiler Mark Blumenthal had this to say:

"Here is our selection of the 100 (actually 111, to allow for ties) best hard-boiled characters (in literature). Although there are several many of us would not consider hard-boiled, most of our ballots had a large majority of characters who made it into the top 111... Of those authors who had more than three characters in the best 111, Dashiell Hammett had six characters and Walter Mosley, George Pelecanos, Jim Thompson, Charles Willeford, and James Ellroy had four apiece. Of those characters that debuted in the 90's Easy Rawlins and Harry Bosch received the most votes."

Seems like Mark wasn't too happy with some of the results, but personally, I was very pleased to see the high regard in which some relatively obscure characters were held, for one, and the wide variety of characters who made it, in general. If hard-boiled is more about attitude than surface trappings, then I have no problem with the final list, really. Though I'm still very conscious of how availability affects the vote. Some of my beloved pulp characters and relatively forgotten P.I.s who just made it to the list could easily rank much higher, I think, if only more people had read them. And, of course, it's a little disappointing that supporting players from popular novels (bolstered in some cases by popular films) cracked the list, while protagonists from some now difficult-to-find novels and series didn't crack it at all. Like, Jo Gar didn't make it? Bummer...

Still, a pretty good list.
