Boomer, you got me hooked on Hiaasen! I have read every one of his books from the Villages library, and I found a few others at the used book store here. I worked my way down the list of Florida authors that was posted here some time ago, and Tim Dorsey was on the list. I read his Nuclear Jellyfish, but it was so hard NOT to compare him to Carl, and Dorsey's stories are a LOT darker, and it took me quite a while to realize that the serial killer was the hero of the book. Maybe if I'd started from the beginning I would have figured it out sooner? Maybe it was too soon after I read all the Hiaasen books I could get my hands on? I'll give Dorsey another try.

Muncle, I'll check the Library for the Southern Sisters books on Monday (When The Bonesetter's Daughter and The Kite Runner are due). I'll let you know if the library has the series.

PS: Did you guys know that Bonesetter's Daughter author Amy Tan is in a rock group with Carl Hiaasen and Dave Barry? They call themselves the Rock Bottom Remainders. Did I tell you I had a Dave Barry sighting in Jackson Hole? Does anybody remember what the topic of this thread is?
