Jim, I haven't read SECOND ENDING, but if it's that
inspirational I'll have to track down a copy. I think you'll
like GUNS, particularly. It reads like an Elmore Leonard/Jim
Thompson collaboration. And that's some collaboration. Now,
if only I can find someone who writes like Lawrence
Block/David Goodis...
