The Postman Always Rings Twice
Notes
A pulpy, sensational novel of crime and passion. Fine? Not for me, really. But amazing how it hit that register halfway between noir and magazine pulp. You can just HEAR the cheesy 1930s movie in it (although I've never seen the movie version of this).

Quotes
"That's it, Frank. That's all that matters, isn't it? Not you and me and the road, or anything else but you and me."
"You must be a hell cat, though. You couldn't make me feel like this if you weren't."
"That's what we're going to do. Kiss me, Frank. On the mouth."
I kissed her. Her eyes were shining up at me like two blue stars. It was like being in church.Quoted on May 19, 2026
