...between The Black Dahlia or Libra? I am a newbie to both Ellroy and Delillo's work.

I know there's already a million and one Ellroy threads on here, but i did a search and got suicidal tendencies digging through them all.

Why don't you read one and then read the other?

Just what Nicky said, read whichever appeals to you the most then the other. Both writers deserve to be read.

and if neither appeals to you more, write the names of each on separate pieces of paper and tape each to the wall. Then get some darts, close your eyes, and start chucking darts.

Deep down, you know which one you want to read first. Admit it. Read that one first. Or, if you're in the mood for an unutterable thrill, read that one [I]second[/I]. Ooh.

Ellroy. Automatically. Because you'll read it in a day unless a medical problem or major occurence gets in your way.

Hit stuff always floats to the top of my TBR because he guarantees that even at his worst I'll get my kicks.
