Ira Levin, R.I.P.

Ira Levin has died.

You might not have read any of his books.

I guarantee that you've seen movies based on them, though.

Wow. I've actually read most of what Ira Levin wrote. He was quite talented and a fun read.

Mailer and Levin are gone, I wonder who's #3.

Dammit, I've read all of his books.

And wished he'd written more.

I have actually read all his books. He made quite an impression on me, starting in the late 60s. He will be missed. :(

Aw, HELL. Rosemary's Baby still scares the crap out of me.

Never never never read Rosemary's Baby and Stepford Wives back to back when you have killer PMS.

I think I can safely guarantee that I'll never do that.

Hey, you never know - science is doing some amazing things. *G*

Actually, I've read Rosemary's Baby and The Boys From Brazil, but I haven't seen any of the film adaptations of his work. So there. :P

Not even Stepford Wives? Or Sliver? Or either A Kiss Before Dying?

[creepingcrud.livejournal.com]

Nope. To be honest, I don't see a lot of movies.

That's too bad. His book This Perfect Day is one of my favorite Dystopian novels.
