"The Callahan Crosstime Saloon series"

Someone gave me a couple of those: I couldn't put them down, though I am not sure why. The plots and premises are not what I would think I would like, and I find myself saying, Oh, c'mon! Thats silly!" all the way thru... and still reading.

I 'think' it's because of the characters and the relationships and thus, the insights into myself that those strange folk bring me.
