"Almost finished with "Chance" by Robert B. Parker. It's one of his Spenser books. I love his stuff because it's an extremely easy read and very entertaining."

                     I can read anything by Robert B. Parker, but I've never been able to figure out just what his appeal is. I think it has a lot to do with the pace of the novels. Each chapter starts out with a new setting, so all of the narrative that would be devoted to getting from one place to another is bypassed. And he can be funny; that helps. I finished reading "Now and Then," a while back.
