I feel the same way about the guy who writes new Nero Wolfe stories. They're fine? But the heart isn't there.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

There are some pretty good Nero Wolfe pastiches/homages I have come across, although I am not super familiar with the originals. I don't know why whoever makes these decisions thinks continuations are necessary.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I think the last Dick Francis novel I liked was To The Hilt.
I bounced off the next two. I think I tried one of his son's novels, but bounced off that too. That was a long time ago.
