Binged it last week. Me and the other half enjoyed it, and she was particularly disappointed at the end that that was it. (Am thinking it is in my top few MCU TV shows - after Hawkeye, and somewhere in with Wanda-Vision and first Loki). There was a brief time decades ago where Wonder Man was my...

On the back wall... Short case 1: Classic fantasy on the top shelf and Nero Wolfe (and related) on the bottom. Short case 2: My favorite Glen Cook on the top shelf (rest elsewhere). Some more Rex Stout and some other great mysteries, plus fantasy anthologies on bottom.
