Ha, thanks for the question. It's always fun to discuss Jim Thompson.
On the top of my head, I'd say Pop 1.280, The Getaway and Nothing More Than Murder. They'll give you a good idea what he's (in)famous for.
Enjoy!(less)

I really wanted to like this. The prose is beautiful. But the story is so boring. That is, I stayed with it way beyond the point when I usually stop reading books I don't enjoy. There were glimpses of interest when I thought, okay, now it's finally g ...more

I've recently discovered the joy of (some of) the ABC Movie of the Week, some 250 odd made-for-TV movies from the late 60s to the mid 70s. A good number of them are good or very good, some are actually amazing, and so

"I had hoped for a book on the ABC movies of the week for almost 30 years. This slim volume is nice, but hardly comprehensive. There are no photos, limited cast lists, no crew lists, and only 101 pages. The author says some of the films, "really don't" Read more of this review »

Haile Selassie I
“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.”

- Popularized by Bob Marley in the song War
Haile Selassie I, Selected Speeches

Woody Allen
“I just can't listen to any more Wagner, you know...I'm starting to get the urge to conquer Poland.”
Woody Allen

Timothy Snyder
“Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of political parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.”
Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
