Nero Wolfe

Have you ever seen the Nero Wolfe series on A&E? It was years back, but they're all available on DVD now. And of course, they were based on stories and books--I think 78 books in all--by Rex Stout. Fantastic fun.

Over the years, I've managed to collect all but 10 of them. See, some are not currently in print. And I've been very nonchalant in my collection efforts. Yet, today, I went to the library and picked up copies of 2 of those missing books, so we can read them.

(Yes, we.)

One's in large print. Very large. A few, at least in my local library, are only available in that format. Still, I've got them to be read.

The borrowed books: The League of Frightened Gentlemen, which I believe might've been the second, and The Father Hunt, which came some 30 years later.
