'Time Bomb'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
There were two Koontz books I adored. Lightning, which had the awesomest twist ever, and Watchers, which I adored because of the Golden Retriever with the human intelligence.
spoilery note to javachik, should you decide read the book: the dog in Watchers does NOT die, although there are some close calls.
Lightning was great. That was the first Koontz I read and is basically why I kept reading him, though I never liked anything else by him as much.
I can read a ghost story and totally love it but if I saw the same story as a movie I would have nightmares.
I am much more disturbed by stuff that can and did happen, like when I was reading World Without End, (set in the mid 14th century) I would find myself watching TV and thinking that a woman was about to get abused when she totally wasn't.
That Bestsellers the week you were born thing is neat! It never would have occurred to me to look that up. I've got The Bourne Supermacy by Robert Ludlum. I haven't read anything on my list, but one is The Handmaid's Tale which I have always meant to read.
Is there a link people are looking these up at?
What did Desmond Morris do wrong?
Michener's Hawaii, Drury's Advise and Consent, Winnie the Pooh in Latin, and To Kill a Mockingbird. And Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. What a studious week that was. Though The Snake has All the Lines looks intriguing.
Winnie the Pooh in Latin? How interesting! Seems strange that that would be a bestseller, but I suppose I'm underestimating people.
In all fairness, Mockingbird is rated higher than the silly bear.
