I've mentioned recently that I've been on something of a John D. MacDonald binge as far as reading goes. Every five years or so I end up re-reading his Travis McGee series, one of the best mystery series ever as far as I'm concerned. Well I've decided it was time to go back and visit good old Travis. When I read them I like to start at the first one written and read them in order. The early books were written so it was easy to pick any up without having to worry about the previous one. The later ones you could still pick up without having read any of the earlier ones, but there was more continuity and events that were referenced to earlier books. If you've never read a Travis McGee book I give it my highest recommendations.
I'm going to make a little post as I finish each book and we'll see if I make it through all 21 books. I'm sure I'll read a few things inbetween some of the books, I'm one of those people that can never be reading one book at a time, I always have three or four sitting around that I'm reading. In face I've already finished a few of the McGee novels, which I'll list shortly.

I too am a huge Travis McGee fan, I've read all 21 books many times. There are a lot of good books and some great books but very few books are a place to go and a place to return to the way McGee is. To bad there were only two movies ever made from the books and they weren't all that good.
