Damn Rick, you finally post something I totally agree with (besides hummingbirds & music) and I got in too late.

Thompson the king of the hard-boiled pulp fiction writers. Quenten Tarantino worsphips Jim Thompson....just imagine the movies he writes and directs...pure Thompson noir! Great writer.

Love his books, love the movies based on them and the directors in Hollywood who happen to be big fans of Thompson!
