You really should, do yourself a big favour… I’ve been pigging out on BOTH series lately, and while the Parker ones get to be a bit samey and borderline depressing after a while, over-indulgence in the Dortmunder books just make the characters more lovable and hence the capers more rewarding. In all seriousness, I think they’ve helped my mental health lately 
If you’re busy, there’s a short story collection called Thieves’ Dozen, might even be in your local library: jump right in there are read two consecutive stories: “Horse Laugh” and the sidesplitting “Too Many Thieves”.
