9	High Sierra [Secure eReader] by W. R. Burnett		The tormented and exhausted man at the center of W.R. Burnett's High Sierra is a notorious criminal whom the newspapers call "Mad Dog" Roy Earle.

15	The S.C.U.M. Manifesto [MultiFormat] by Valerie Solanas		This notorious work, published by Maurice in NY, needs little introduction beyond an explanation of the acronym: The Society for Cutting Up Men. Ms. Solanas is of course most famous, not for cutting up, but rather for shooting one Andy Warhol. She did not finish the job.
