Hub is reading through Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe series, which I read a lot of years ago, but I think Hub is actually going to read every single one of the... forty-some? novels. They're definitely creations of their time: written in the 1930's through 70's. I think the part I enjoyed was Wolfe's introversion and irascibility. He just wanted to stay in his brownstone, reading good books and eating good food and nursing his greenhouse full of orchids. He only did detection on his terms, and only as much as necessary to support his lifestyle.
