Will do. Isherwood is a great artist. Roy Thomas I remember used to do many of the stories in the Savage Sword of Conan comics. That picture of the sister holding the candle in one of the Little Sisters of Eluria Dark Tower comics is great bit of art.
You didn't say if you liked End of Watch!!
I liked it a lot--quick read because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.You didn't say if you liked End of Watch!!
I finished Phantoms by Dean Koontz last night. Never read it before, but this one is usually among people's favorites by him. Not me. I really had to make myself finish it. I did enjoy his "new" afterword, about how he did not consider himself a horror writer and resented the publisher asking for a straight up horror novel that could be marketed as such, and then he thought he could insert enough science and logic into it to be satisfied with the story himself. I read it on the kindle, so no idea how new the new afterword was, no nifty date on it like our favorite author does. I just thought it strange he didn't consider himself a horror author. But interesting.
Now I am not sure what's next. Either the second Chet and Bernie story or the second Mitford book, maybe I will start the McCammon Corbett series. Decisions, decisions.

I think something light and fun is just the ticket. I really enjoyed the first book!
Chet is a member of "the Nation within the Nation".
I finished finders keepers,and liked it very much..am now reading James Arness,the autobiography of the star of Gunsmoke, the movie monster in The Thing from Another World,he was in Them,and numerous other movies and tv shows..I knew a while back he had an injured leg,which you can tell he limps in Gunsmoke,but hadn't realized it was due to having the bones shattered by machine gun fire while he was fighting at Anzio in WW2..it is a pretty good book about growing up in the depression era,his war service,and then his transplantation(haha,The Thing being transplanted, get it?)to California.Hollywood in the forties,fifties sixties and seventies,good stuff..James Arness to my mind,as Matt Dillon,was much like the Gunslinger,a man of few words but intelligent,and resolved to pursue his duty to the end,no matter what the cost to himself..recommend the book!
