I'm trying to read all the books by Rex Stout.

Rex Stout's personality is quite puzzling as his life. I think he was a real genius of detective stories and I like his stile, but I must admit that I have read the books in a translation and not in English, so it was very easy to me to read them, I think that it would be different in English, even though I've read some Agata Christie's books, E.A.Poe's tales and poems, and Le Carre's spy stories all of them in English. I have read that he had done a lot of jobs during his life: spanning from the cook to the judge and so on, so his way of writing in English could be influenced by all these experiences he has had... He has created one of the most extraordinary Character in the entire history of novel: THE detective Nero Wolfe, an absolute brain full of vices and gags but the pure intelligence and the real personification of inference and thought completely separated from emotive and indifferent to modes. A really complex personality, the unreachable perfection of logic reasoning in a quite elephantiasic body and a gourmet with the love for flower cultivation... really enjoyable (in my modest opinion). good bye
