It's been a while

Not just a song by Staind. The last 10 months have been fairly crazy for me but now things are starting to settle a bit so let's hope I can get this updated a bit more regularly.

Now, don't think I haven't been reading - I have, though admittedly not as much.

I might back fill what all I have read, but for now I am just going to do what I am reading.



I haven't read Koontz in a couple of years but this one was at my mom's house and I absconded with it while I was farm-sitting.

One of the things I love about Koontz is how easy he is to read. The pages just fly by but he isn't all business. He still takes a bit of time to fit in some poetry.

One of my favorite examples that I have come across so far...

"A phantom dancer, made of dead leaves and litter, spun down the center of the street in the embrace of a whirlwind."

and he later returns to this personification-

"Out in the street, the whirlwind had gathered more dust and detritus. Earlier the ghost had appeared to be waltzing along the blacktop. Now it was doing a frantic jitterbug."
