Softboiled!?

Everybody seems to like Raymond, but why?

I rent a book from the library near my house. The book is written by Yusuke Higuchi. I was somewhat influenced by his style. It seems like he was influenced by Raymond Chandler.

However, I don't think that he is my favorite author any more. Why? It is hard to say, but probably I'm not that romantist any more. It is kind of sad, but at the same time I feel kind of proud although I don't know why.
