Highsmith is an old favorite of mine. I heard she started out writing
Superman comics! She seems to be in the tradition of "psychological"
mysteries writers like Simenon.

Hi -
Just logged in my copy of Detroit Is My Own Home Town by Malcolm Bingay. It's been in a box in the basement for a while, in a group of books that used to belong to my parents. Parts of my family have been in Detroit since the late 19th century, and it actually is my own home town. There are only 3 of on LT who own the book. The third member has a huge catalog of Michigan history. So that sort of explains why he has the book, and why I have the book. But it doesn't explain how/why YOU happen to own a copy. I'm just being nosy. Are you from Detroit, or do you just like obscure stuff??

Thanks,
Kathi Phillips

I'm glad you liked Castle Waiting-it is awesome-I read about it on someone's blog and picked it up.

lisa carver, how to be a villain, retro hell, crackpot,

PRANKS---i know a guy who was a very active member of the Cacophony Society, he's also married to Margaret Cho!

ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS-a copy was given to me by a lad from Liverpool, who i met on a kibbutz in Israel. It still had a price sticker in pounds, and he told me that in England it is like their 'own' 'catcher in the rye. lent it to a friend in college---never got it back...

anyway, fabulous taste!!!!

I see we somewhat share the same taste in books since we share 46 books. You have a great collection.

What an excellent collection you have! You share some of my more bizarre and obscure volumes (who would've imagined that 12 other people on librarything would own the Amok catalogue?). I may have to pick your brains.
