	Leonard jumped to mind immediately.  I was working through
his books when I got tired of the blankmail-kidnap-someone-rich
and screw up royally.  'Tishomingo Blues' was a nice change.
	I've been slowly working on Lew Archer's adventures. A few

	I need to review them.  
	'Seven Slayers' mad me read 'Infinite Jest'.  I read doorstoppers 
because I like journeys - short stories are frustrating, like running out 
in the rain to the mailbox and finding nothing but junk mail.
