I Love Her
Patricia Highsmith just completely rocks my world.

Seconded! Hitchcock adapted Strangers on a Train and changed it so much that it's two different stories. Her Ripley series are fantastic (she starts to lose it on the third or fourth one though... ) and her short stories are just tremendous.

Never read her. What do you recommend starting with, full-length novel-wise?
.the summer-break tomato.

Full-length novel-wise....hmmmm....curse you and your lack of enjoyment from short stories. That's all I'm writing these days.
Forget what you've seen of Hitchcock's film and read Strangers on a Train
Forget Matt Damon (tho it was a good adaptation, imho) and read The Talented Mr. Ripley
This Sweet Sickness is pretty good too.
Any thoughts, fellow Highsmith lover?
