Absolutely. I've avoided reading the Lector books by Harris,
but Highsmith's Ripley just creeps me out. In fact, reading
anything by Highsmith usually gives me a creepy

I didn't realize there had been another Ripley book filmed.
Now I'll have to look for it. That Malkovich stars makes me
hopeful for a good piece of work.
