I only read The Hunted (which was pretty good). I'm about to start Maximum Bob soon.

I enjoyed Tishimingo Blues a lot, it was a good read
Adding my vote to the many already (in no particular order):
Get Shorty
Maximum Bob
Rum Punch

I finished Stuart Woods' "Under the Lake." It was pretty good although his writing was not as strong as Leonard's IMO. Still anjoyable enough that I'll check out another Woods' book in the future.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through "Glitz" right now and am loving it. I just really dig cool cats like Mora. As I read this, I keep thinking, damn this would make a great movie. I'm really surprised more Leonard books haven't been adapted to film.

Up next is "Freaky Deaky."
Boot. Just so you know, Under the Lake is a very non-typical Stuart Woods Novel. I recommend checking out Choke, New York Dead, or one of the other Stone Barrington based novels.

Actually Glitz was made into a low budget movie with the guy from LA Law. I can't remember his name. You should check out Get Shorty, Out of Sight, and I just read Tishomingo Blues(sp?) and it took me 2 nights to read. Pretty cool characters in this one.
