>I read 'T is for Trespassing' last week. I enjoy Sue Grafton books almost as much as (Stephanie Plum) Janet Evanovich books. Right before that I read Now and Then by Robert Parker. Another good one. I usually get them when they come out in paperback.

I love Grafton's character, Kinsey. I think I sort of identify with her. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a detective.I read lots of detective books back then too. I always thought that would be the coolest job. So much so that, about 9 years ago, I got my son Adam into it, quite by accident. A new friend of mine was co-owner of a detective agency (he wasn't a PI, he just did the marketing) ... but they were looking for new investigators at the time and I hooked him up with Adam, who was 18 at the time and looking for work. They hired him and he's been a PI ever since. He's got his license now and works for himself.

I know you've mentioned the Stephanie Plum books before, but I haven't gotten around to trying them yet. I also hear that Robert Parker's good ... one of these days I'll get around to it. Maybe I should just get on over to Amazon and order myself a few books. =0)
