I'll go change that right now...<BR/><BR/>And though inspired by Holmes, I'd say that the Wolfe books are more a combination of the private eye genre (hence Archie as a character) and the drawing room detective (Wolfe himself), making it a superior beastie.fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1156451408291765272006-08-24T16:30:00.000-04:002006-08-24T16:30:00.000-04:00the sleuth imprint is from Penguin, not S&S.the sleuth imprint is from Penguin, not S&S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1156446670712433862006-08-24T15:11:00.000-04:002006-08-24T15:11:00.000-04:00I love the Suchet Poirots, but I think they're eas...I love the Suchet Poirots, but I think they're easily matched or surpassed by the Jeremy Brett Holmes's.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I read one Nero Wolfe and liked it quite a lot. Someday I may read more. But, as you point out, it was influenced by Holmes (as is pretty much any detective story, other than the Poe tales that preceded Doyle).Dan McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16231241053500980570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1156437762143967492006-08-24T12:42:00.000-04:002006-08-24T12:42:00.000-04:00Though it pains me in every one of my little gray ...Though it pains me in every one of my little gray cells, I'll not fight for the honor of Poirot here. *sniff* I love you David Suchet!<BR/><BR/>No, I'm reserving my fighting stance for Nero Wolfe. You haven't even read any Rex Stout, have you, Dan (she sneered). Top notch New York crazy detective work AND they're funny AND there's some thought that Wolfe has striking similarities to Mycroft Holmes, particularly in bulk. Nero Wolfe trumps Sherlock Holmes any day of the week.

I even liked how they managed to still keep Holmes woman and child hating yet still accessible. I've been reccommending this to anyone I meet. Well, anyone I meet in the bookstore. It would make for odd conversation at AutoZone where I had to go for a new car battery.The Buried Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261558849787618175noreply@blogger.com
