>you've gotta read more Scudder.
Amen to that, Ive recently been reading the Scudder
books in order (had to stop because I don't have 'Out on the
cutting Edge' but I'm frantically scouring the local used
bookstores so I can resume.) and I thought they were great to
start with and just keep getting better. 'Sacred' was, in my
opinion, FANTASTIC, but the ending has a feeling that, if I
didn't know better I would have guessed Block was bringing
the Scudder books to a close. Does anyone know if Block had
that in mind when he wrote 'Sacred' or is it just my
impression? Also, just have to add that the Scudder series in
general and 'Sacred' in Particular remind me of Pelecanos'
Nick Stefanos books (another FANTASTIC series/author IMO) I
know Block was first but I read Pelecanos first so... Anyone
else who's read both authors feel that way or am I again
projecting? Any other authors/series in the same vein as
Scudder/Block or Stefanos/Pelecanos that anyone can suggest?
And lastly (is that an adverb?) a comment before I resume my
lurking. This list is, to over-use an adjective FANTASTIC as
well. I have picked up far too many great suggestions to
mention (just read my first Peter Rabe!)and y'all are batting
quite high, I've only been disappointed in a few books I've
picked up from the list compared to the MANY I've enjoyed, so
thank you all and keep up the good work! Best, Will
