"When I am feeling backed into a corner by life’s events, it has always been my nature to retreat into the comforting embrace of the written word." Well said. I love this sentence(and I read for the same reasons!)

Good books!

Even though they are avid readers themselves, the boys still like for us to read to them at night. Part of that is them procrastinating going to bed, the other part is the enjoyment of a good story (and hopefully time with Mom and Dad).

We started Narnia with them a while back and are currently working through "The Silver Chair". We did the Bunnicula series a couple of years ago. I picked Bunnicula up thinking I was going to be reading them a story about a rabbit, which of course it really isn't. Just thinking of the cat (Chester?) makes me smile.

Like you, the only Koontz that did much for me was "Watchers" and I've read that twice. I think I will try the one you suggested.

Have you read The Kite Runner?

Tom-
Oh crap...I didn't mean to inadvertently recommend a book to a WRITER. Here's hoping you like it- remember, I love nothing more than a good alien/zombie/destruction yarn. That doesn't necessarily translate to "great literature."

Snowbird-
Weird...I JUST checked the local library website for The Kite Runner after hearing the author on Fresh Air last night. As soon as I finish The Life of Pi I'm planning to read it.
