Just finished INTELLECTUAL MORONS by Flynn.

Anyone who has seen the movie Kinsey, or hasn't, read Flynn's chapter on Kinsey to get the true, un-Hollywooded picture. They made the movie slightly negative so people would think they were getting the true picture. Uh-uh. Read Flynn.

WAR STORIES part 2, Ollie North, stories from the Pacific

I laughed and cried through this book. Laughed? Well, what about the British soldier who hid in the bathroom when the Bataan camp was liberated? The prisoner who said the American liberators looked like Martians to them? There was more, mixed in with the heartbreaking scenes to give a little relief. Great book.

He's always shelved in the Mystery section, so I'll submit Elmore Leonard as the champ, although they aren't classic mysteries. There is suspense, though. Crime novels, I guess you would call them.

Also, classed as a psychological thriller, Andrew Klavan's Animal Hour.

Kinsey, Sex, and Fraud by Judith Reisman was better, although even for a former Marine, some parts just could not be read, it was so disgusting, the details of Kinseys experiments, Flynn actually glossed over it
