I'm currently reading this ex-con's memoirs, unfortunately called "Mr Blue" since they seem to think most people know him as that from Reservoir Dogs...However, I know him from his great crime novels--anyway, he's lived an amazing life, and I strongly recommend you seek out this book, as well as his fiction.
that's all I wanted to say. adios.

I've read Dixie Jam something by Elroy :) I love crime novels, as you can tell by my user name--
Jonesy--I've seen Chopper in the video shop and it's one on my list--it's an Aussie movie isn't it? If so, they're usually entertaining ;)

i really enjoyed black dahlia. the way that book builds is amazing. haven't read anything else by him, maybe i should check some stuff out. i'm still in the middle of my lovecraft-reread boom, so i haven't been checking other books out lately.

hey, I'm building up to a big Lovecraft re-read bonanza too! just waiting for winter to progress a little more (and hopefully some snow!) :)
Ceri--my username refers to Philip Marlowe, the fictional Private Eye from the EXCELLENT series written by 'Raymond Chandler'...Buy and read them in sequence, please do.

I was like that with Philip K Dick--I read far too many of his novels in too short a time and ended up a neurotic Paranoiac who had a nervous breakdown! D:
