RIP Robert Parker On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 12:32 PM, Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote: This is a genuine tragedy for me... love the author's work. I know he wrote four or five books a year and rarely published that many, so there is a backlog of work to enjoy, but this is still sad news. Sad for me too. When my wife and I first got married and we were too poor for much other entertainments we would buy two Spencer books, take turns reading them, and then talk about them. I have every Spencer book in the series - most of them used paperbacks from the old bookstore down the street from my apartment in Pasadena (more recent ones, reflecting our ever increasing ascent on the social ladder, are hardbacks). Unlike Kevin I never got into his other series (I did read Poodle Springs) but the Spencer universe will always have fond associations for me. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
