"Memories aren't rags that come clean with enough ringing."



Books:


I have been in a non-reading funk lately but recently I splurged at B&N and then at Half Price Books when Alicia was in town on some light reading material.

When you enter B&N on the Plaza the first thing you are assaulted with is some counter gal trying to sell you on their whimsical new paperback-killing device, the Nook. Now I've played around on Alicia's Kindle a few times but it's not the same as having a dirty secondhand paperback in your fingers. Plus it wont stop me from reading when the batteries fail. Another thing is that new paper smell...



Can't get this face from an e-reader.

Great part in this comic that I feel relates to me very, very well.

Anyways, Koontz's works can hardly be put down after starting them. Nothing changed with this one but I felt a little cheated on the length of this piece. See Book Four of the Frankenstein series was suppose to be the start of a new trilogy but according the cover of Book Five: The Dead Town, it is FINAL Chapter.

What the....

I went back and looked at the first two books in the series and according to them these last two books in this saga(PART 3&4) are falling a little over a hundred pages short each. I know I'm whining but come on.....I read this shit in two days and the story spanned what, less than three days as well. Enough setup time just to keep me with bated breath till I can pick up The Dead Town.



Maybe I'm just antsy for word on a new Odd Thomas novel.

Never before have I wanted so much to witness a song live.
