Okay, I admit it. You caught me. I posted my "Books to Read in 2008" list and I have already started...even though it is still 2007. I am currently reading (and have no idea when I will get back to it) The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz. I am waiting for the incredibly dark, supernatural turn. It's Dean Koontz. I know it has to be in there somewhere. So far, it is just the story of a girl who rescues golden retrievers. Yes, she has a past. But who doesn't? I have to admit, I am not a huge Koontz fan because I view him as a little too commercial (not that there is anything wrong with that!) and some of his stories are downright creepy. However, Fear Nothing and its sequel Sieze the Night are two of my favorite books. If you have not read them and have the means, I highly recommend picking up copies.
On a brighter note, I have set about acquiring the books for 2008. I view this as a positive first step. I just placed an order at Amazon for a couple of them. This one I have to finish before the movie hits Houston in a couple of weeks. Such pressure. Shlomo and I keep hoping that January will be a slow month. Hopefully, it will be and I will get time to dig into a few of these.
In the meantime, I will let you know how my reading list goes and how the current book turns out. As someone who used to read a couple of books a week, it is pitiful how few I listed for the year. It is even more pitiful how uncertain I am that I will get them all read. But, let's take a moment to celebrate the upcoming arrival of this! All hail, Ms. Weiner and her allowing us to catch up with Cannie her main character of Good in Bed. I cannot wait to see what has transpired. (I know I am crazy, but I kind of think of her as an actual person...that might be why I really cannot read Dean Koontz that often...they aren't real, Anshel. They ARE NOT REAL!) Oh well.
