Readers may be divided into four classes:
A. Sponges, who absorb all that they read and return it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtied.
B. Sand-glasses, who retain nothing and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time.
C. Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read.
D. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also.

Maron, Nevada Barr, and C. J. Box are three of my favorite authors. Barr and Box have long series going. Each one is a thriller. Maron has a great series too, not as intense as the other two.
