A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

FER-DE-LANCE - Rex Stout
The very first Nero Wolfe along with his legman Archie Goodwin. Wolfe, the Orchid growing genius Sherlock Holmes type who never leaves the house and Baldwin the Phillip Marlowe type who does all the hard work.
I got introduced to Stout way back in high school by a teacher who let me read in class rather than be disruptive and its one of the best things that St Patricks High School Timaru did for me.
These stories are timeless, the characters never change, this one written in 1935 will be no different in the way the characters are than one written in 1975. There are 46 stories in the series and they are all gems.
