O.k. Malik, Sometimes nobody is writing anything on the list so it seems as
though you have been deleted. So what i did was put something through so
that you could see things are still cool with the list. What i was talking
about was something from the Garrett series, Deadly Quicksilver Lies. (pg.
69) I've read them all a bunch of times. I just felt like seeing how many
people out there were hip to the Garrett series and also were on the list.
Guess i was being too flashy, sorry.

Hey, caught it laughed, but didn't want to tell you it's really later in the
book.
The humor in Garrett is better than most, it is low key and for us fantasy,
sword
and bow boys, it's a wonderful parody of the "buddy" quests and for the Murder
mystery fans it's a wonderful play on Raymond Chandler.

It's a little of both. The Dead Man has many similarities to Nero
Wolf (except the yellow pajamas & flower obsession), but Garrett
is more like a Chandler detective than Wolf's sidekick Archie
Goodwin.

Well, _The_Maltese_Falcon_ is by Dashiel Hammett. Both Hammett and
Chandler do the hard-boiled-detective thing that Cook does with
Garrett.
I actually think Hammett's Continental Op detectives are more Garrettesque
than Marlow, but the curious reader should read both authors.

It's cool to hear some discussion of something besides the Black company
series for a change.While I love BC, I don't know what I look forward to
more, A new BC or a new Garrett. I get more chuckles with Garrett than with
the later episodes of the BC. And I heartily recommend reading and
re-reading all of both Hammet and Chandler and maybe even throw in a dash of
Mickey Spillane (Garrett definitely has more than touch of Mike Hammer's
libido in his make up).

In the detective novel genre, ...... Chandler rules, I've read em all. It's
one of the reasons why i love the, "all," Garrett novels. Raymond
Chandler... just go to any, "reputable," book store and get the complete
selection. "I envy you," It's the same thing i say to anyone who hasn't read
Tolkien yet. Wow, to be able to read Tolkien for the first time.....

For a long time I thought there were two different authors named
Glen Cook, one who wrote the Garrett books, and another who
wrote the Black Company books.
The humor in the Garrett books is definitely more pronounced
(although, I love Croaker's sarcastic outlook). I'm quite fond of the
Grollish triplets, Doris, Marsha, and (bother, I'm afraid to guess
now...) the little guy.

Raymond Chandler. As in "The Big Sleep".
I always thought the Garrett character was more in
line with John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee character.
People come to him wanting something and then he
wanders around until the bad guys do something to draw
attention to themselves.
They're both cynical, have lots of friends, expect to
be overpaid and sometimes get it (sometimes nothing at
all). And the humor has a similar dry quality.
And, of course, beautiful women throw themselves in
his path.
Another similarity is that MacDonald's books all have
a color in the title (such as One Fearful Yellow Eye
and The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper) while Cook's
all have a metal in the title.
If you've never read one of MacDonald's books, pick
one up. See if you agree.

Subject: (glencook-fans) Travis McGee and Glen's new mystery novel
I heartily agree. Running out of new Garrett books is the primary reason I
recently turned back to rereading some of the Travis McGee books I hadn't
thought about in years. I'm halfway through The Deep Blue Good-Bye and
loving it. Travis lives on a houseboat called the Busted Flush that he won
in a poker game. How can you not dig him?
This is also the reason I'm really looking forward to the mystery novel Glen
Cook keeps telling people that he's writing. Does anyone remember if he had
an estimated date on that?
