Of caviar and salted peanuts

 I did not have time to blog about it, but two days ago was the birthday of Mickey Spillane. And I found on social media this delicious (forgive the pun) quote from him, which explains in a nutshell why I always come back to crime fiction. You probably heard of it too. Here it is: "Those big-shot writers could never dig the fact that there are more salted peanuts consumed than caviar". I don't know for you, but I can relate. Fittingly enough, two days ago, I was blogging about peanut butters. Anyway, I only read one book of Spillane so far, but I intend to read more.
