Crime novels : American Noir of the 1950s

Crime, Title
Five stories crime: The Killer Inside Me, by Jim Thompson; The Talented Mr. Ripley, by Patricia Highsmith; Pick-Up, by Charles Willeford; Down There, by David Goodis, and The Real Cool Killers, by Chester Himes. I used Mr. Ripley in separate entry, but I finally finished the whole 892 page book. Which is set in 10 point Linotron Galliard. The paper is Ecusta Nyalite. And lite it is! Way too thin. And 10 points is way too small!! The stories are ok, except for Mr. Ripley, but I am not excited by them. Maybe I\'m just not a noir kind of guy.
