Yes...  I like Spenser, too. (In moderation.) Interestingly enough
(what a dumb phrase.... well, anyway you be the judge) I read my first
Spenser novel after reading a piece about the author and character in
the *Wash.  Post* food section. (Spenser can cook, you see...  But
don't try all of the recipes.  Parker admitted that he never actually
tried many of them.  He made them up to sound interesting.)

Anyway, Spenser is kind of like the best characters Bogart played in
movies (all of them, you say?).  The books are very light reading.
But fun.
