considered myself well-read until..+ I. Adler series

Well after looking at the NPR list, the Random House, and Random
House Reader's list, I consider myself half-way decently well read 
(IMHO).  However not when it comes to Hemingway- and for that I don't 
feel bad, I have never cared for his writing.  By a coincidence I 
happen to be reading The Big Sleep right now just because I've always 
heard of Chandler and because it is a short, quick read.  I love 
Remains of the Day and An American Tragedy.  I may have to reread My 
Antonia again. I had a prof who would read sections of it out loud
and do the Bohemian accent- mostly to keep his students from saying 
"An-tony-a." :)

Speaking of reading, does anyone on here read Carol Nelson Douglas' 
Irene Adler series?  While at the library looking for The Eyre Affair
I ran across a new one called Chapel Noir.  I was So bitter when I got
to the end of it.  I swear she was taking a leaf out of JKR's books-
I never expected it to end with "to be continued..."

If anyone else has read this book- I'm curious if anyone thinks they 
know who the unnamed peasant is.  He is the companion of the 
(psychopathic-sounding) narrator of the "From a Yellow Book"
sections. I have a very strong suspicion that the companion is a 
certain historical character and am curious what others think.

You've been through all of 
F.Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read 
It's well known

Because something is happening here
Butyou don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
     Dylan, Ballad of a Thin Man
