Just finished up Running with the demon by Terry Brooks - a fantastic read if you are into fantasy books.

Finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy about a week ago, great read and I'm finding myself in a Cormac McCarthy type of mood, my goal is to read the border trilogy before October.

I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

Cormac McCarthy is one of my all-time favorite authors. Nobody writes like that. His word usage and sentence structure create a mood and pace to a story that just can't be described it can only be experienced. What a pleasure to read something written by a true artist. My favorite: Blood Meridian. Not an easy read and not recommended for anyone's first McCarthy book but once you're hooked, boy, it's something.

humidor inventory is in my bio

Anytime I want to feel worse about civilization, I pick up a Cormac novel. But god they are good. Currently, rereading John Adams by David McCullough. Great book with a lot of insight of his life and reputation.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Thomas Jefferson

Just finished the third of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein books, Dead and Alive. I've been waiting for this book for almost four years. When I found out it was finally being released on the 28th, I re-read the first two. He did it justice man, it was almost too much to cram into one book, but he pulled it off nicely.

Just finished reading a short story....


Did you know that Miller Genuine Draft only has 64 Calories??? That plot really twisted at the end...

And the antagonist gets 10cents in Michigan!!!!

In Tim's Beard we TRUST

Wow Lassie.. That sounds like a great story.. I'll have to pick that one up soon. (dude, that's what I missed most most about your absence. You friggin crack me up. )

I picked up The Husband by Dean Koontz this evening, didn't put it down until I had cleared nearly 200 pages. Man, talk about grabbing you and taking off....Koontz is so good at that, I'd be surprised if I didn't finish it tomorrow.
