Re: What are you reading?
Just finished Dean Koontz, key to midnight which he originally wrote under the name of Leigh Nichols, although shorter than the original its still quite gripping and dramatic cold war guy gets girl love story'ish type of book, not his normal fare but very good.
Just started Koontz's Whispers, pretty good so far.

Re: What are you reading?
I haven't read Whispers in *years*. I used to love Koontz's stuff, especially the older books such as Watchers, Phantoms, Midnight, Strangers. Never really got on with his more recent stuff though.

Yeah, I'm with you there - his old school horror/thrillers were great. Whispers is the one with the writer, right?
Haven't bothered with most of his new stuff since about 'From the corner of his eye'.

Re: What are you reading?
half way through "the girl who kicked the hornets nest"
first book was good, second book not as good, third and last book too much fluff and filler, never mind, keep on truckin'
trying to decide wether to reread an old favorite or start on something new, downloaded about 6000 so i am not short on choice
