I prefer non-fiction to fiction when I read books, but as a teen I discovered Mickey Spillane's books featuring Mike Hammer, and in a few years had read them all.
For you unfamiliar with Spillane's style, here are a few excerpts:
Anyone else feel free to post some quotes/excerpts of one of the great pulp fiction writers ever.

For you unfamiliar with Spillane's style, here are a few excerpts:
"I snapped the side of the rod across his jaw and laid the flesh open to the bone," Spillane wrote. "I pounded his teeth back into his mouth with the end of the barrel ... and I took my own damn time about kicking him in the face. He smashed into the door and lay there bubbling. So I kicked him again and he stopped bubbling."
"There wasn't any kitten-softness about her now. She was big and she was lovely, with the kind of curves that made you want to turn around and have another look. The lush fullness of her lips had tightened into the faintest kind of snarl and her eyes were the carnivorous eyes you could expect to see in the jungle watching you from behind a clump of bushes."
RIP ya' big lug...
