Re: your other post: What mysteries do you binge on?

Well...a lot, really! I tend to read one or two "hard" books and then read a bunch of easier ones. I like Rex Stout, as I think I've mentioned...also Agatha Christie (of course), Dorothy Sayers, Mary Roberts Rinehart various other mystery writers from the 40s and 50s, some Ellis Peters and some spy / suspense authors, like Alistair MacLean.

I like Stout and Christie. Haven't read the others, though I'd probably be inclined towards the 40s-50s stuff, as I like Dashiell Hammett and film noir of the 1940s. In the spy/suspense genre I like Sax Rohmer, Ian Fleming, Frederick Forsythe, Thomas Harris, and Robert Ludlum, of what I've read so far. I like your method of reading one or two hard books and then some easy ones--sounds like a good idea, I will try that :)
