Yeah, the library is the best.  I also found a netflix type system on the internet for books on CD.  But I know I wouldn't use it $15 bucks a month worth.

Harlan Coben's Just One Look.

So far, so good.  It drew me in pretty quick.

So now for my second trick, I will read The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy.

I might stop by Crackerbarrel later on in Waynesboro and get something for the road too.

Well, that was a quick easy 362 pages.

Now, I'm reading Dean Koontz - The Taking.  I picked it up today and I'm already 83 pages into it.

A book I should've read when it came out, but never had the chance.

If he authored it, he also didn't tell us that he served in the RAF.

I've read probably 11 or 12 of Dean Koontz's books, and I found two that I liked that I feel safe in recommending.

"Midnight", and "Dark Rivers Of The Heart".  Both are really good reads.  His other stuff is just a bit too formulaic for me.

I just finished The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and am now about 70 pages into Doublething by my friend Judith Schwartz.  So far so good and a really interesting dystopian account of a future which we may be headed for.

You're telling me - I hadn't realized what sort of mental damage working for a bunch of incompetent shysters was doing. But now, I feel FREE!

Currently debating school versus running fake seminars. Will report back with decision.
