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

NOT QUITE DEAD ENOUGH - Rex Stout
This comprises two novella's featuring Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin. Both tales are set during World War II with Archie serving as a Army Major.
Like the seventy odd other episodes in this series its note worthy for the quality of the verbal jousting. For me the mystery in each story is secondary to the banter. If you like a very well written mystery give the Nero Wolfe series a look, they are ageless and always entertaining.
