Books Books Books.
It's all about books lately.

This week I only finished one off my official list.
It was Gaurds! Gaurds! by popular UK Author Terry Pratchett. It's very comical if you like British humor, and I liked it more than I thought I would. The last book I read by Pratchett was Eric and I found it incredibly difficult and boring, but maybe I will get it better if I try again? We'll see. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Although this is the Graphic Novel cover for the book, I think it best describes the characters.
















The book I finished after that was not on my list. One of my favorite authors, Dean Koontz, created a brilliant story with Dragon Tears (which is what I read), but not quite as good as Life Expectancy. I know the titles sound kind of corny, but they are great books. Life Expectancy being on my top ten if I had one haha. Dragon Tears really makes you think about whether or not you're paying attention to what's going on in the world on a less than global scale. The tragedies, the ridiculous abusrdities of human evil. At first, it makes you feel helpless but by the end hope is, as always, not lost in a Dean Koontz book.

So now I am continuing Jung Chang's Wild Swans and have gotten 14 chapters into Koontz' Odd Hours (without having read the previous three books in the odd Thomas series, sadly). It's a fasta nd easy read as I am noticing. I definitly think I will become and Odd Thomas fan even in the midst of his end (or is it?).
