Salted Peanuts
Mystery writer Mickey Spillane dies - BOOKS - MSNBC.com
I was just researching ol’ Mickey last week, and found the following quote from him. The best retort to literary elitism I’ve ever heard:
Those big-shot writers could never dig the fact that there are more salted peanuts consumed than caviar.
I remember thinking those few days ago, “Wow. He’s still alive.”
A titan of the riffed-off word. He had a lot in common with bloggers.

I was actualy listening to a podcast interview of a more contemporary mystery writer (I cna’t recall his name) and the conversation touched on Mickey Spillane.
