Gee, Mark, I'd call "dips" myself, but I have most of those
already, and like you, most of 'em are unread. Maybe we can
get adjoining rooms when they finally haul us both off to the
looney bin for the Criminally Collective. Though space might
be at a premium -- I'll bet a lot of Rara Avians will be
there. Admit it, troops! How many of you are anywhere from
slightly to profoundly embarrassed by the number of books you
have falling off your shelves?
Anyway, Douglas Heyes' book might be a keeper -- he wrote
some interesting, Chandleresque P.I. stuff in the past (and
some TV stuff, too). And I seem to remember THE LAST PRIVATE
EYE IN BELFAST as being okay. And, like Bill, I got a kick
out of the Pete Hamill books. Sex, violence and a swinging
bachelor pad, seventies style. He also wrote a pretty good
trashy book about a boxer who loves his dear ol' mom a little
too much. HOPE AND GLORY? FLESH AND BLOOD? SOMETHING AND
SOMETHING?
