Kyle..I like Don Passman..not sure why he wrote only two books and stopped..quite enjoyed his thrillers

Karen wrote: "I just finished reading "The Wind Through the Keyhole" by Stephen King, Good book, interesting concept. It was a story, within a story, within a story."

HAHA sounds like a take on Victor Victoria..A story about a woman acting like a man acting like a woman!!..or something like that!! regardless. Robert Preston was FANTASTIC in that film!!

Ken wrote: "Wally wrote: "You should try reading Cormac McCarthy. Try Blood Meridian.
The guy can write.

Have not read the book..but a PERFECT description of critics and their need to show how "elite" they are!!

The edition I read began with a fawning review comparing Blood Meridian to Moby Dick and As I Lay Dying. Right from the start I knew this was going to be one of those books praised by the literary community because that's what they are expected to do.

Ken I read all the Odd Thomas books - except the first...Odd of me I know...I love the character- yet there seems to be a bit of repetition .. Odd travels someplace..gets into a ghostly situation...ect ect..I reallywish he would return to his hometown Pico Mundo- and have the same characters that I so enjoyed in Book Two (Ozzie the 400lb writer ect) return.
