The literary world lost a giant today. It is a sad day.

His '10 rules of writing' were hanging on my office wall for years....
A brilliant author no doubt. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/16/ar...ptedoodle.html |

Definitely a brilliant writer with a long run. Far superior to any of the clowns who attempted movies of his work.
R.I.P. Mr Leonard. Thank you, sir. "After seeing the first version, he declared it to be ?at least the second-worst movie ever made.? In a much-told anecdote, he said that once he saw the remake, he knew what the worst one was." I worked on Be Cool in the audio dept. Producers had way too much money, little of which made it to the screen. |

He actually had a porn connection too....52 Pick-up, a Leonard book turned into a movie starring Roy Scheider and Ann-Margaret, has cameos by several 80′s porn stars, including Honey Wilder, Amber Lynn, Tom Byron, Herschel Savage, Cara Lott, Sharon Mitchell, Barbara Dare, Jamie Gillis and a much slimmer Ron Jeremy.

Ya, I was sad to read about that as well. I have read a lot of his books. He certainly had a talent for making dialogue jump off the pages. Loved his writing ... RIP.
