I've never read Mickey Spillane, and I only knew of him from pop cult references. I was surprised to read today how univerally hated he was by the critics.

I'm a huge fan of James M Cain (guilty pleasure), and now I want to read more Spillane. When I finally take my long-overdue books back to the library, maybe I'll get some of his.

Every hard boiled detective, PI and bad ass dude lookin for answers to the crime in the past 50 years of pop culture owes at least a little nod to the Mick. He may not have invented the genre but he was one of the big names.
