I had always hoped to meet him. I have four of his books. I will now read the others. I always felt that we had a lot in common...I guess that was part of his style. Someone mentioned short declarative sentances. This is true and reminiscant of Hemingway. But MM was a far more interesting writer.

He did cost me a lot of money. Due to his prose, I have had three "bespoke" guns made!
