Borrowed a copy of Barry Hughart's 8 Skilled Gentlemen from the friend who turned me on to the Master Li books to start with. I can't find THAT book anywhere, I have copies of the first two in my collection but that last one has eluded me.

It's a goddamned shame Hughart got so screwed by publishers that he never wrote again. The trilogy evokes Holmes but in a Chinese fantasy way that, tbh, nothing else has really managed to achieve. It has a touch of Douglas Adams about it but was written in a time before Adams really had reknown for his style. I know I won't ever find anything like it and that makes it hard to finish this last book. I have four chapters to go and I don't want to (except that my friend wants his book back).

Never heard of it but that sounds fascinating. I am going to add it to my list of books/authors to keep an eye out for at used bookstores.
