Amazon is my favorite place to shop. Yes I live in St. Charles county, but Wal-mart really isn’t where I spend all the big bucks. As you might have guessed that’s where I purchase all my books.
Purchasing leads to recommendations, and recommendations pointed to Dean Koontz. So I picked up the first Odd Thomas novel. I was immediately hooked. So far I’ve read the first three.
Koontz purchases on Amazon of course led to more of his works turning up for me to buy. Oh, the titles are interesting, but they don’t really say much about the books. Let’s list a few…
Seize the Night The Watchers Life Expectancy Intensity Phantoms
You get the drift. Short titles and cool covers. That’s what it’s all about I guess. What I’d really like though is my friends and contacts to make some recommendations about his books. Or heck, just suggest some good alternates.
Ones I’ve read already:
Odd Thomas 1st-3rd books
Frankenstein books – Prodigal Son and City of Night
That’s it. Just those. I’ve been wary of running out and spending $10 on something I might hate. Are the Odd Thomas novels a good indication of the rest of his writing? Are they exceptions?
So I’m asking you, my readers, and the rest of you out there on the net; what’s your favorite Koontz tale or alternate work of fiction.
I’ll post the results here on the blog, so keep the suggestions coming in. As an added incentive, I’ll buy you a book too if I take your suggestion. So be the first to suggest your favorite.
Yours,
Todd

Are you a Facebook application freak? Have dozens installed? Or are you the more serious type that feels all applications are a distraction; that you don’t have time for Scrabulous or ChessPro. Perhaps you’re somewhere in the middle, using Six Degrees, and FriendFeed applications.
Whatever your situation with Facebook, you are sure to have your most enjoyed, most hated, or most useful application. I’d like to talk about those with you here on the blog.
Anyone can report a new application, but I’d love to get you involved talking about them. In that spirit, what’s your favorite, most hated, most fun, most useful application, why and would you like me to write about it?
Come on; I know you have one.
