It's not your fault. You didn't write it.

My one critique is that he seems a bit too turned on by the outlaw mystique and was fooled by textbook sociopathy.

THE AUGMENTED AGENT AND OTHER STORIES by Jack Vance. This 1988 Ace paperback contains a fair number of stories I've never heard of.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay

Plus, I managed to get through that biography on Antonin Artaud. Once I got used to the biographers dry writing style, it was a fantastic read....what a fascinating man. I've ordered a copy of Theatre and It's Double, and I can't wait for it to get here :D

in cold blood is amazing writing - definitely a must-read

i just finished Elect Mr. Robinson For A Better World - by Donald Antrim - definitely a film for those who like bizarre books:

the premise - in a sunny suburban california neighborhood all the neighbors begin building moots and fortresses to protect their homes - including mines and artillery - all the while maintaining their sunny dispositions towards each other - must be read to be appreciated!
