I'm on an Ira Levin kick right now. I just finished The Stepford Wives, now I'm reading The Boys From Brazil with a work friend. It's really good.

I’m trying to read “A Perfect Day” but so far I cannot get into it. The original movie of Stepford Wives with Paula Prentiss and Katherine Ross is great, and encapsulates the 1970s tug of war over women’s roles and Valium tranquilizers perfectly. I recommend it if you haven’t seen it already.

The movie is definitely on my list, yeah. I'll check it out. And I heard that This Perfect Day got more mixed reviews than most of his stuff.
