Goodreads Recommends--Pulp!

This list will be a bit shorter than the others, as the Goodreads audience isn't as heavily into pulp as they are some other categories. Pulp is less of a genre than a "feel." Action-packed, high excitement, not much introspection, kind of low-brow. On this shelf I put not only books and stories actually published in the pulp magazines, but homages and patisches. I'm seeing a lot of noir in here too.
