Mr. Reasoner and that whole big crew (Pronzini and so on)
ghosted for the magazine, didn't they? I thought from the
biblio that Dresser and Terrall did 90% of the books.
I think a Mike Shayne year might be a bit intensive, but
perhaps we could turn the reading list into themed months.
Each month we could take a writer or character or series and
just have at it. Different people would end up reading
different books and we'd end up with quite a conglomeration
of facts and opinions. It'd mean people didn't have to worry
about getting a specific title, too.
