I just put a hold on The Dinner at my library. Thanks, Issybird.
I love this month. Like Jon who would like to read and discuss science fiction every month I would love to do the same with mysteries. Patricia Highsmith was a wonderful writer of psychological mysteries, as was Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine. Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955) was a successful film starring Matt Damon that was released in 1999. I recommend everything that Lisa See writes.
I'm not so crazy over psychological mysteries since they give me nightmares. I really hate to be inside the head of people who do and rationalize evil (Humbert Humbert and Mr. Ripley can seriously disturb your sleep for a long time). I like flawed sleuths hunting out and removing evil against all odds. It probably all started in childhood with Robin Hood and Zorro.
