    Just finished Dean Koontz’s SAINT ODD, the finale of the Odd Thomas books. For those that haven’t read them… they are a typical Koontz mix of science fiction, action, horror, and romance. Koontz is a tough call to categorize. This story has all his trademarks and is a good read, but it is for fans who have followed the series, definitely not a…[Read more]

    Reading BLUE LABYRINTH by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. After a divergence into high adventure in the last three novels, a trilogy, they return their hero, the enigmatic Agent Pendergast, to the Natural History Museum in New York and bring back some old familiar characters to flesh out what starts out as a murder mystery. Should make a great…[Read more]

    Finally got around to working with the new software here… Just read Robert McCammon’s I TRAVEL BY NIGHT. Do you remember the old TV western HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL? Palladin, a gunslinger for hire works out of a San Francisco hotel and fixes problems for a living. Has a calling card with the iconic “Have gun, will travel.” on it. Well, this book…[Read more]

      This is actually a new post, but I can’t figure out how to make a new post in this new layout.

      Anyway, there’s some interesting buzz about “bookbooks,” as opposed to e-books, etc. Here’s the Ikea commercial that seems to have started it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOXQo7nURs0

        All I see above Henry’s post is a bar saying “You and are not friends. Request friendship to post to their Wall.” Am I supposed to be friends with the group admins, or what?

    Haven’t been posting much, but have been reading. I just finished John Banville’s (writing as Benjamin Black) THE BLACK-EYED BLONDE a new Philip Marlowe novel. Robert B. Parker tried some years ago to resurrect Marlowe, but his efforts seemed a bit flat to me. Banville seems to have truly found Chandler’s voice and mood. If like Chandler’s work, I…[Read more]
