Yes, I've always liked the series although I had trouble finding a nice clean printable list of the books in order (without comments or other stuff) so I cobbled one together from multiple sources:

I even read the Robert Goldsborough pastiches to satisfy my NW cravings

When I read that one of the first search tools for the internet was named Archie it seemed appropriate and a fitting reward for the voice of the series...

I always liked the stories where Wolfe had to leave the brownstone and fight the perils of meeting people (or worse for him: women) riding in strange automobiles even those not driven by Archie! (oh noes) Three Men Out, Wolfe at a baseball game, Die Like A Dog where Wolfe gets the brownstones first pet Jet the black Labrador retriever

Some NW's are better than others I guess my other favorites would be the ones where Archie gets off some _really_ cutting remarks....

and then there is the food I have always wondered what the meals there at the brownstone would have tasted like

one of my favorite NW reads is the Nero Wolfe Cookbook with its snippets of dialogue and the meals served, and the recipes...
