Lawrence Block

Last night, I read a short story from Lawrence Block called "Keller's Double Dribble." I hadn't heard of Block before, but he sounds like and author I'd like to get to know more of. He's created a hit man named Keller, who collects stamps. It's a pretty interesting situation. I mean, a stamp collecting hitman is in itself funny, but the way he got involved in stamp collecting is even funnier. He knew his career was winding down, so he took up a hobby, but now he's become so infacuated with his hobby, he can't afford to stop killing because of all the money he's spent on stamps. The short story was a great read and look foward to reading some of his other work like HIT MAN, HIT LIST, and HIT PARADE.
