Rearranged my book shelves.

[GNTLGNT]

My pair of supernaturally gifted Golden Retrievers coats of fur stunningly shimmer in the heavenly glow thrown Earthward from the arc-sodium light hanging suspended from the pole that rises out of the bed of bougainvillea bushes whose magnificent pink and purple colors darken to stupendous hues in the twilight of night.

I swear. I am going to read this book this year. I must.

I read it in like two days. It’s that good; you will love it.

I really want to see the changes between movie and book -- and what really happened to Drew -- was he shot or did he just toss himself into the river overcome with guilt?

Nobody answer that.

Don't let a guy who hasn't even seen Once Upon a Time in America hound you about not reading Deliverance.

They still let you in this place, Champ? I thought they cut out all the riff raff...or the low men had recruited you.

I haven't seen the movie (or read the book), but on the late great Internet Movie Database boards, now preserved at MovieChat.org, is a whole thread on that subject which did not seem to arrive at any definite conclusion. There is also some disagreement about what really happened following filming the "squeal like a pig" scene.

...then you haven't given Koontz much of a chance....he has written some tripe, but so has King.....

I've read all of his Frankenstein books and most of his Odd Thomas books and while I enjoyed them I wouldn't call them great literature. I tried reading What The Night Knows and that was awful. The only book of his I consider great literature is Phantoms.

I love rearranging books but that sounds a bit brutal.

Come on over - I'll make a pot of tea!


(I really need to dust the book shelf by the back door - it's starting to look pretty bad).

....none of what he has written is great literature, but most of it is pretty good entertainment....try out his new series with Jane Hawk......

Okay as long as you treat me real nice.

Should we post pictures of our bookshelves in this thread or is there another thread we should use or start one for showing off our shelves?

I haven't read any Koontz but I own a few of his books, any you would recommend?

....Odd Thomas series, Frankenstein series, Jane Hawk series just as a start....

What about Stand-alone novels?
