I like John Sandford's 'Prey' series and really love his 'Virgil Flowers' series and character.  The first book by Sandford (John Camp) that I read was 'The Fools Run' in the short (four books to date) 'Kidd' series.

Kidd is my favourite character by John Sandford, followed by Virgil Flowers. I'm about a third of the way into this book and both Kidd and Flowers have turned up .. so far, so good.

007 Carte Blanche by Jeffery Deaver.

Boy's Life by Robert McCammon, probably the best book, other than Bradbury's Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked This Way Comes, to capture the feeling of being a child in a small town in a bygone era.  Highly recommended to all monsterkids. BTW McCammon references FMOF, Aurora monster models and Universal Monsters repeatedly in the novel.  A great read!
You can't kill the boogeyman.  Halloween (1978)

I read A Boy's Life around seven or eight years ago ... it is a good read and I recommend it too ...  ;D

Read some Algernon Blackwood short stories last night. My pick of the bunch; 'The Strange Adventures Of A Private Secretary In New York'. Has anyone read this one? It is a brilliant short story, scary and occasionally funny, with echoes of Dracula.

Working on these two.  I really like these golden age archives. Especially when I get them at around 70-75% of cover price off Amazon.

A 1935 HANDBOOK OF THERAPY, published by the AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, and written by Dr. Morris Fishbein....its Head.  A combination of a child's curiosity, and a Father's wish to become a Doctor.  Dad didn't become a Doctor, because he couldn't afford Medical school...but the Fishbein book became a cherished read for his 8 year old daughter.

I haven't read that in years.  Excellent book, first read it in 5th of 6th grade.

I have always loved the movie, so I figured I would give the book a try. I'm loving it as well.
