I've realized that I can't read too many noir books in a short period either - after the first three I started reading at least one non-noir novel between each two HCC books.
Reading one a month as they come out sounds good, but there are about thirty already-released novels that I don't want to miss as they may go out of print (I have to order online as no major bookstore in my area has more than one or two HCC books in stock). On the other hand, buying thirty for future reading seems like a terrible idea in case I am turned off the series at some point.
Anyways, enough complaining - there are worse problems out there than having too much of a good thing.
